                                            ORDER DENYING PETITION
                                  This original petition for writs of mandamus challenges letters
                      of dismissal from the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline and the
                      State Bar of Nevada. 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);
                      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
