WAHEED FEDA, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE SENIOR JUDGE J. CHARLES THOMPSON, Respondents, and THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a November 20, 2019, oral district court ruling denying petitioner's motion to dismiss a criminal escape charge on double jeopardy grounds.
Having reviewed the petition and supporting documentation, we conclude that our extraordinary intervention is not warranted. See NRS 34.160; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (explaining that petitioners bear the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) ("[T]he issuance of a writ of mandamus or prohibition is purely discretionary with this court."). Accordingly, we
In light of this order, petitioner's emergency motion for stay is denied as moot.
