Ali SHAHROKHI, Petitioner, v. The EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT of the State of Nevada, IN AND FOR the COUNTY OF CLARK; the Honorable Dawn Throne, District Judge; and the Honorable Linda Marie Bell, Chief Judge, Respondents, Kizzy Burrow, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION
This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges, for the second time, see Docket No. 83558, a September 29, 2021, district court order denying petitioner's motion to disqualify Judge Dawn Throne.
Having reviewed the petition and supporting documentation,1 we are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. 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). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.2
FOOTNOTES
1. We have reviewed the documents attached to petitioner's emergency motion for stay, but no appendix was filed with the writ petition. Petitioner's failure to comply with NRAP 21(a)(4) constitutes an additional basis on which to deny relief.
2. In light of this order, petitioner's emergency motion for stay is denied as moot.
