Shearing, J.,
dissenting:
I would deny the State’s petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenging the district court order denying the State’s motion to dismiss. While I do not necessarily disagree with the law cited by the majority, I do not agree that the district court manifestly abused its discretion or exercised it arbitrarily or capriciously.1 This court was correct in State ex rel. Department of Transportation v. Thompson when it determined that it is not in the best interests of Nevada’s judicial system for this court to entertain writ petitions challenging district court denials of motions to dismiss or motions for summary judgment.2
