NEVADA GOLD MINES LLC v. NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES (2022)

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original petition for a writ of prohibition or mandamus challenges the validity of respondent State Engineer's Order No. 1329.

Having considered the petition and its supporting documents, we are not persuaded that our discretionary and extraordinary intervention is warranted. Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991) (observing that this court's intervention by way of writ relief is purely discretionary and is utilized only in extraordinary circumstances); 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). Among other reasons, we are not persuaded that our consideration of petitioner's presented issues is warranted in the context of this writ petition when, as petitioner acknowledges, there is ongoing litigation involving those same issues. Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
