SHERRY RAHMAN, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; HON ERIKA MENDOZA, DISTRICT COURT JUDGE, DEPT. 27, Respondents, JOSE MORALES, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus challenging district court orders enlarging the time prescribed in the parties’ contract for real party in interest to complete the purchase of real property, and granting real party in interest's motion to close escrow and expunge a lis pendens on real property.
Having considered the petition and supporting documents, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted at this time. See Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (stating that the party seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing such relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition). Namely, any relief petitioner is seeking in this writ petition can be sought in the context of the consolidated appeals in Docket Nos. 88498, 89168, & 89351 or in the district court. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
