See NRS 34.160 (defining a writ of mandamus); NRS 34.170 (providing that a writ of mandamus may issue "where there is not a plain, speedy and adequate remedy in the ordinary course of law"); NRS 34.320 (defining a writ of prohibition); NRS 34.330 (providing that a writ of prohibition is appropriate only where the petitioner lacks "a plain, speedy and adequate remedy in the ordinary course of law"); 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
The Honorable Mark Gibbons and the Honorable Abbi Silver, Senior Justices, participated in the decision of this matter under general orders of assignment.
