HARVEST MANAGEMENT SUB LLC v. Aaron M. Morgan; and David E. Lujan, Real Parties in Interest. (2019)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order denying a motion for entry of judgment.

Having considered the petition and supporting documentation, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted at this time. Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 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 Judicial Dist. Court, 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). Accordingly, we deny petitioner's request for writ relief. We clarify that this denial is without prejudice to petitioner's ability to seek writ relief again if subsequent steps are taken to reconvene the jury. Cf. Sierra Foods v. Williams, 107 Nev. 574, 576, 816 P.2d 466, 467 (1991) (“[T]he general rule in many jurisdictions is that a trial court is without authority or jurisdiction to reconvene a jury once it has been dismissed․

It is so ORDERED.
