ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR EXTRAORDINARY WRIT RELIEF

This emergency, original petition for extraordinary writ relief seeks an order temporarily lifting house arrest restrictions on petitioner leaving the county for purposes of going on an out-of-state road trip with and/or visiting petitioner's sons.

Having reviewed the petition and supporting documents, we conclude that our extraordinary intervention is not warranted. Round Hill Gen. Improvement Dist. v. Newman, 97 Nev. 601, 603-04, 637 P.2d 534, 536 (1981) (noting that the decision to entertain a petition for writ relief lies within the discretion of this court). Without prejudice to petitioner's ability to seek relief first in the district court, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.¹

FOOTNOTES
