THE SWINDLE FAMILY TRUST DATED OCTOBER 20, 1999, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK, AND THE HONORABLE JOSEPH HARDY, Respondents, LEE SOO AHN, AN INDIVIDUAL; BOK HYUN EUM, AN INDIVIDUAL; AND CHELSEA EOOM, AN INDIVIDUAL, Real Parties in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order denying a motion to expunge lis pendens.
A writ of mandamus is available to compel a legally required act or to control a manifest abuse of discretion. Halverson v. Miller, 124 Nev. 484, 487, 186 P.3d 893, 896 (2008); see NRS 34.160. A clear right to the relief requested must be demonstrated, id., and whether a petition for writ relief will be entertained rests within this court's sound discretion. D.R. Horton, Inc. v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 123 Nev. 468, 474-75, 168 P.3d 731, 736-37 (2007). It is petitioner's burden to demonstrate that this court's extraordinary intervention is warranted. Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004).
Having reviewed the petition and supporting documents before us, we conclude that petitioner has not met its burden. Accordingly, we decline to intervene at this stage in the district court proceedings and thus
ORDER the petition DENIED.1
