HARRIS v. Jennifer Figueroa, Real Party in Interest. (2022)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This original, emergency petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order denying petitioner's motion to disqualify the district judge presiding over the parties’ custody case.

Having reviewed the petition, we are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (observing that the party seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing such relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition). Additionally, petitioner has not provided this court with an affidavit or declaration in accordance with NFS 34.170, see NRAP 21(a)(5), or copies of the documents necessary to our understanding of the issues raised, including the challenged order, NRAP 21(a)(4). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
