TROPICAL LOSEE LLC v. LLC (2021)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION

This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a district court order requiring petitioners to deposit disputed funds with the court clerk pending trial. Although the amount of the deposit was later increased, the order originated as a condition the district court imposed on its grant of petitioners’ earlier motion to continue the trial date. Petitioners have also filed an emergency motion to stay the district court proceedings pending our consideration of this petition, and real party in interest has filed an opposition to that motion.

Having considered the petition and supporting documentation, we conclude that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is not warranted. See 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). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.¹
