ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION
This emergency petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a district court's order incident to divorce. As directed, real party in interest has filed an expedited answer to the petition.
Having considered the parties arguments and the attached documents, we decline to exercise our extraordinary discretion to intervene in this emergency manner. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (providing that petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted). This matter presents a complex procedural history and significant issues warranting thorough review, for which the emergency nature of this matter does not allow. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
