ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original petition for a writ of prohibition or mandamus
challenges a district court order awarding petitioner Daniel Simon attorney
fees in quantum meruit. Simon argues the district court incorrectly
calculated the attorney fee award. But we already reviewed the challenged
district court order in a direct appeal, Edgeworth Family Tr. v. Simon, Nos.
83258/83260, 2022 WI, 4298625 (Nev. Sept. 16, 2022) (Order Vacating
Judgment and Remanding),' where we vacated the fee award and remanded
for further proceedings. As a result, Simon has no order to challenge, and
his petition is thus moot. See Natl Collegiate Athletic Ass'n v. Univ. of Nev.,
Reno, 97 Nev. 56, 58, 624 P.2d 10, 11 (1981) (“A moot case is one which seeks

to determine an abstract question which does not rest upon existing facts or

rights.”). We decline to hear this moot petition. See Smith v. Eighth
Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (holding
that whether to consider a writ petition is discretionary). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
