SHAW-LUNDQUIST ASSOCIATES, INC., Petitioner, v. EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE VERONICA BARISICH, DISTRICT COURT JUDGE, Respondent, and CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT, INC., Real Party in Interest.
UNPUBLISHED OPINION
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This is an original petition for writ of mandamus challenging the district court's denial of Shaw-Lundquist Associates' motion for summary judgment.
A writ of mandamus is available to compel the performance of an act that the law requires as a duty resulting from an office, trust, or station or to control an arbitrary or capricious exercise of discretion. NRS 34.160; Int'l Game Tech., Inc. v. Second Jud. Dist. Ct., 124 Nev. 193, 197, 179 P.3d 556, 558 (2008). The decision as to whether a petition for extraordinary writ relief will be entertained rests within this court's sound discretion. D.R. Norton, Inc. v. Eighth Jud. Dist, Ct., 123 Nev. 468, 475, 168 P.3d 731, 737 (2007), Petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted. Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004).
Having considered the petition and supporting documentation, we conclude petitioner has not demonstrated that our extraordinary intervention is warranted. See id.; Int'l Game Tech., 124 Nev. at 197, 179 P.3d at 558. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
