10) I q4 7A
                                                                    1 47 -02 2 61 1
                     ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR
                                       PROHIBITION

                            This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus or
                prohibition challenging the implementation of A.B. 579, which establishes
                new classification, registration, and reporting requirements for sex
                offenders. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Douglas Smith,
                Judge.
                            In seeking relief from the district court's denial of their
                application for a temporary restraining order to enjoin the implementation
                of A.B. 579, petitioners challenge the constitutionality of A.B. 579.
                            Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that
                writ relief is warranted.      See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.320; see also Pan u.
                Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004)
                ("Petitioners carry the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief
                is warranted."). Further, we note that because the district court order at
                issue is the denial of an application for a temporary restraining order, the
                record below is not sufficiently developed for judicial review. See Pan, 120
Nev. at 229, 88 P.3d at 844.

SUPREME COURT
     OF
   NEVADA
                   Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
