                                          ORDER DENYING PETITION
                                This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition
                    challenges district court orders denying motions to dismiss and for
                    summary judgment. Having considered the petition and its 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); Srnith v. Eighth Judicial Dist.

                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 challenging orders denying summary
                judgment or motions to dismiss, and we are not persuaded that any
                exception to the general rules applies here. Int'l Game Tech., Inc. u. Second

                involved factual disputes). Accordingly, we
                            ORDER the petition DENIED.'
