Pattee; the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, in and for the County of Clark; and the Honorable Jessica K. Peterson, District Judge, Respondents.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for writs of mandamus challenges letters of dismissal from the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline and the State Bar of Nevada. Having considered the petition and its supporting documentation, we are not persuaded 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, 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). We therefore
ORDER the petition DENIED.1
