EFRAIN SALAZAR GURROLA v. THE SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF WASHOE AND THE HONORABLE BARRY BRESLOW THE STATE OF NEVADA (2025)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This emergency petition for a writ of mandamus seeks to compel the district court to grant a motion to withdraw as counsel for petitioner. Petitioner has also filed an emergency motion to stay the underlying justice court proceedings pending our consideration of this writ petition.

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 (explaining that an appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy precluding writ relief); NRS 34.170. Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.¹
