ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition
challenges a district court order denying a motion to dismiss in a torts
action. Having considered the petition and its documentation, we are not
persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is
warranted. See Walker v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 136 Nev. 678, 683,
A76 P.3d 1194, 1198 (2020) (declining to grant writ relief when a later
appeal was available); 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); Smith v. Eighth
Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991)
(recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court
has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition).
Generally, we will not consider writ petitions that challenge orders denying

motions to dismiss, and we are not persuaded that any exception to the
