BOULEVARD INVEST LLC JDK v. Narine Nazaretyan, Real Party in Interest. (2021)

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order denying summary judgment. Having considered the petition and its documentation, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See Walker v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 136 Nev., Adv. Op. 80, 476 P.3d 1194, 1198 (2020) (declining to grant writ relief when a later appeal was available, despite the petitioner's argument that writ relief would be an easier or quicker remedy); 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). Generally, we will not consider writ petitions challenging orders denying summary judgment, and we are not persuaded that any exception to the general rule applies here. Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 113 Nev. 1343, 1344-45, 950 P.2d 280, 281 (1997) (discussing writ petitions challenging denials of summary judgment); see also Walker, 476 P.3d at 1199 (declining to provide writ relief when the underlying issue involved factual disputes). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.¹
