WILLIAM JOHN CONNORS, III, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITON FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI
This original petition for a writ of certiorari seeks to compel the district court to declare a $275 debt discharged.
A writ of certiorari is an extraordinary remedy, and the decision to entertain a petition for such relief is within this court's discretion. Dangberg Holdings Nev., LLC v. Douglas Cty., 115 Nev. 129, 138, 978 P.2d 311, 316 (1999). Moreover, petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that our intervention by way of extraordinary relief is warranted. Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004); NRAP 21(c) (providing that a petition for an extraordinary writ other than mandamus or prohibition generally shall be resolved in the same manner as a petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition). Having reviewed this petition, we are not persuaded that our intervention by way of extraordinary writ relief is warranted. See Pan, 120 Nev. at 228, 88 P.3d at 844. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
