ANTHONY BARONE AND ON BEHALF OF PROTECTED PERSON NICHOLAS SARNELLI v. EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT AND CLARK COUNTY GUARDIANSHIP COURT JUDGE BRYCE DUCKWORTH (2025)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION

This pro se original petition seeks a writ of mandamus or prohibition directing the district court to rule on pending motions in a guardianship action while an appeal is pending and appoint a new attorney for the protected person.

Having considered the petition and supporting documents, we conclude petitioner has not met their burden to show 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 demonstrating 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 this court has the sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a petition); see also NRAP 21(a)(4) (requiring a petitioner to include in the appendix to the writ petition any document that is essential to understanding the matters set forth in the petition). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
