                     Respondents,
                     FRANK J. DELEE, M.D.; FRANK J.

                                           ORDER DENYING PETITION

                                  This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus challenging
                     a district court order denying a motion to dismiss in a medical malpractice
                     action.
                                  Having considered the petition and its supporting
                     documentation, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and
                     discretionary intervention is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist.
                     Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (stating that the party
                     seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing such relief is warranted);
                     Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851
                     (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this
                     court has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ
                     petition). Specifically, we generally decline to exercise our discretion to

                grant writ petitions challenging orders denying motions to dismiss, and we
                are not convinced any of the exceptions apply in this case. See Chur v.
                Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 136 Nev. 68, 70, 458 P.3d 336, 339 (2020)
                (discussing the exceptions to the general rule). We therefore
                            ORDER the petition DENIED.
