ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the denial of a demand for a jury trial in a tort action. Having considered the petition and appendices filed in this matter, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See NRS 34.160; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("Petitioners carry the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted."); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674 , 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991) (observing that the decision to issue writ of mandamus "is purely discretionary"). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
