                             COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA,
                             IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK;
                             AND THE HONORABLE VERONICA
                             BARISICH, DISTRICT JUDGE,
                             Respondents,
                             and
                             FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE GROUP,
                             INC.; FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE
                             INSURANCE COMPANY; AND
                             FIDELITY NATIONAL TITLE AGENCY
                             OF NEVADA, INC.,
                             Real Parties in Interest.

                                                     ORDER DENYING PETITION
                                         This is an original petition for writ of prohibition or, in the
                             alternative, writ of mandamus. Petitioner Wells Fargo seeks a writ of either
                             prohibition or mandamus that would allow the underlying action, which the
                             district court stayed, to proceed. The district court granted the stay pending
                             a decision from the Ninth Circuit in Wells Fargo Bank v. Fidelity National
                             Title Insurance, Case No. 19-17332. As the Ninth Circuit has issued that
                             decision, Wells Fargo's petition is moot and no exceptions to the mootness
                             doctrine appear to apply. See Personhood Nev. v. Bristol, 126 Nev. 599, 602,

                doctrine). We therefore decline to consider it.                See Univ. of Nev. v.
                Tarkanian, 95 Nev. 389, 394, 594 P.2d 1159, 1162 (1979) (explaining that
                this court does not consider moot issues). Accordingly, we
                               ORDER the petition DENIED.
