EMI ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This original petition for a writ of rnandamus seeks to compel the respondent district judge to hear petitioners post-judgment motion for relief, rather than the judge to whom the case is currently assigned, and to have vacated prior orders entered by the currently assigned judge. Having reviewed the petition and supporting documents, we conclude that our extraordinary intervention is not warranted. NRS 34.160; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (recognizing that petitioners bear the burden to demonstrate that writ relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991). In particular, petitioners fail to demonstrate that NRS 175.101, a criminal procedure statute recently addressed in Harvey u. State, 136 Nev., Adv. Op. 61, 473 P.3d 1015 (2020), applies to their civil case below. Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
