ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This original petition for writ of mandamus challenges a district court order compelling an appraisal. A writ of mandamus is available to compel the performance of an act that the law requires or to control an arbitrary or capricious exercise of discretion. NRS 34.160; Int'l Game Tech., Inc. v. Second Jud. Dist. Ct., 124 Nev. 193, 197, 179 P.3d 556, 558 (2008). Ultimately, whether to consider a writ of mandamus is within this court's sole discretion. Smith v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991). Having reviewed the petition and supporting documents, we conclude Petitioners have failed to demonstrate writ relief is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (explaining that petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating extraordinary writ relief is warranted). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
It is so ORDERED.
