STATE v. Clarence Martin, Real Party in Interest. (2024)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This emergency petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court ruling assertedly denying petitioner's motion to strike, as untimely, a notice of expert witness.

Having reviewed the petition and supporting documents, we conclude that our extraordinary intervention is not warranted. NRS 34.160; Smith v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991). In particular, petitioner appears to have rejected an offer to continue the trial and has not demonstrated that the district court committed legal error or manifestly abused its discretion. Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (recognizing that petitioner bears the burden to demonstrate that writ relief is warranted). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
