CODY C. WALKER, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE VINCENT OCHOA, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, VALERIE WALKER, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a temporary child custody order. Having considered the petition and appendices, we cannot conclude that petitioner has met his burden of demonstrating that extraordinary writ relief is warranted to order the district court to change its temporary child custody order. See Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004); Ellis v. Carucci, 123 Nev. 145, 149, 161 P.3d 239, 241 (2007) (recognizing “the district court's broad discretionary powers to determine child custody matters”).
Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
