IN RE:; J. C.-L. (2020)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This emergency petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the district court's preliminary prosecutive merit procedure in the underlying juvenile delinquency case.

Having reviewed the petition and accompanying appendix,¹ we conclude that our extraordinary intervention is not warranted at this time. See 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, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition). The district court has scheduled the requested evidentiary hearing so as to provide petitioner due process. Should concerns remain thereafter, petitioner may raise his challenges through appropriate means at that time. Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
