GREGORY ALAN DANKOWSKI v. HILDA LYNN HANSON (2025)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order dismissing an appeal from a justice court order. Having considered the petition and its supporting documentation, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 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 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). Specifically, we generally will not entertain writ petitions that are moot because this court's duty is to resolve justiciable controversies. Degraw v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 134 Nev. 330, 332, 419 P.3d 136, 139 (2018). And Dankowski's challenge to the district court's order is now moot because the underlying extended protection order expired by its own terms on February 28, 2025. We therefore

ORDER the petition DENIED.
