RICHARD PAUL WILSON v. THE STATE OF NEVADA (2025)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION

This original, emergency petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a district court order granting a continuance of a criminal trial and seeks to compel the district court to reinstate the original trial date.

Having reviewed the petition and supporting documents, we conclude that petitioner has not met his burden of demonstrating that our extraordinary intervention is warranted in this matter. Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (explaining that petitioners bear the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (stating that this court has sole discretion in determining if a writ petition will be considered); see also Pan, 120 Nev. at 224, 88 P.3d at 841 (2004) (explaining that an appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy precluding writ relief). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
