IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

                 COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA,
                 IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF                                   NOV 1 6 21322

                                        ORDER DENYING PETITION

                             This original petition for a writ of prohibition or mandamus
                 challenges a district court order awarding petitioner Daniel Simon attorney
                 fees in quantum meruit.       Simon argues the district court incorrectly
                 calculated the attorney fee award. But we already reviewed the challenged
                 district court order in a direct appeal, Edgeworth Family Tr. v. Simon, Nos.
                 83258/83260, 2022 WL 4298625 (Nev. Sept. 16, 2022) (Order Vacating
                 Judgment and Remanding),1 where we vacated the fee award and remanded
                 for further proceedings. As a result, Sinion has no order to challenge, and
                 his petition is thus moot. See Nat'l CollegiateAthletic Ass'n v. Univ. of Nev.,
                 Reno, 97 Nev. 56, 58, 624 P.2d 10, 11 (1981) CA moot case is one which seeks
                 to determine an abstract question which does not rest upon existing facts or

Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (holding
that whether to consider a writ petition is discretionary). Accordingly, we
