WILLIAM ALLEN GOLDAPP, JR., Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE GLORIA STURMAN, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, THE STATE OF NEVADA, EX REL.; STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION; CLARK COUNTY; CLARK COUNTY ASSESSOR; AND NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF TAXATION, Real Parties in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order granting a petition for judicial review and remanding in a tax matter. Having considered the petition and its 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, 843-44 (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). In particular, petitioner William Allen Goldapp can raise the arguments presented in his petition in an appeal from the final judgment in the underlying matter. See Walker v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 136 Nev. 678, 681, 476 P.3d 1194, 1197 (2020) (providing that the availability of a later appeal generally precludes writ relief). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
