       ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

             This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus challenging
a district court order denying petitioners' motion to dismiss a complaint in
a tort action.
             "A writ of mandamus is available to compel the performance of
an act that the law requires as a duty resulting from an office, trust, or
station or to control an arbitrary or capricious exercise of discretion."   Int'l
Game Tech., Inc. v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 124 Nev. 193, 197, 179
P.3d 556, 558 (2008) (citations omitted); see NRS 34.160. It is within this
court's discretion to determine whether a writ petition will be considered.
Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851
(1991). Petitioners bear the burden of demonstrating that this court's
extraordinary intervention is warranted.       Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist.
Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). Having considered the

                                       2
                petition, answer, reply, and supporting documents, we conclude that
                petitioners have not demonstrated that our intervention by way of
                extraordinary relief is warranted.   Smith, 107 Nev. at 677, 818 P.2d at
                851. Accordingly, we
                             ORDER the petition DENIED.
