Ronald WILLIAMS; and Jann G. Williams, Petitioners, v. NEVADA COMMISSION ON JUDICIAL DISCIPLINE, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline's dismissal of petitioners’ judicial misconduct complaints. Having considered the petition and appendix filed in this matter, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See NRS 34.160; Halverson v. Miller, 124 Nev. 484, 487, 186 P.3d 893, 896 (2008) (recognizing that the decision to issue a writ of mandamus “is solely within this court's discretion” and that petitioner bears the burden to establish that such extraordinary relief is appropriate). We therefore
ORDER the petition DENIED.
