LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE JOSEPH HARDY, JR., DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, and LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original emergency petition for a writ of prohibition or mandamus challenges a district court order requiring Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) representatives to meet and confer with opposing counsel, and then, if necessary, permitting the Las Vegas Review Journal (LVRJ) to take depositions of LVMPD's employees regarding LVMPD's response to LVRJ's request for records under the Nevada Public Records Act. We have considered the petition and the answer to the petition, and we are not satisfied this court's intervention by way of extraordinary writ is warranted. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.320; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("Petitioner[ ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted."). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
