ORDER DENYING PETITION

See NRS 34.320; NRS 34.330; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (“Petitioner[ ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted.”). Accordingly, without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
