ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a
district court order denying a motion for summary judgment in a tort action.
Having considered the petition and its supporting documents,
we are not persuaded that writ relief is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth
Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (observing
that the party seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing such relief is
warranted). Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy and whether to
consider a petition seeking such relief is within this court's sole discretion.
Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849,
851, 853 (1991). We generally decline to exercise that discretion as to
petitions challenging orders denying summary judgment motions, and we
are not convinced that any of the exceptions for doing so apply in this case.

See Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 113 Nev. 1343, 1344-45, 950 P.2d
280, 281 (1997) (discussing the exceptions to the general rule). We therefore
ORDER the petition DENIED.'
