                       Petitioners,
                       vs.
                       AARON D. FORD, NEVADA

                                             ORDER DENYING PETITION
                                   This original petition for a writ of mandamus seeks an order
                       disqualifying the attorney general from representing a district court judge
                       in federal litigation. 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) (observing that the party
                       seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing such relief is warranted);

                       851, 853 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and

that this court has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a
