Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

EDWARD LORD; AND NETWORK No. 76812 REALTY, INC., Petitioners, VS. THE SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, ILED

IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF OCT 12 2018 WASHOE; AND THE HONORABLE ELIZABETH A. BROWN CLERK 01 SUPREME COURT

EGAN K. WALKER, DISTRICT JUDGE, BY Respondents, DEPUTY CLERK

and STEPHENS & EDWARDS, LLP, Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order denying a motion to disqualify the presiding judge. Having considered the petition and appendices filed in this matter, we are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See NRS 34.160; Halverson v. Miller, 124 Nev. 484, 487, 186 P.3d 893, 896 (2008) (recognizing that the decision to issue a writ of mandamus "is solely within this court's discretion" and that petitioner bears the burden to establish that such extraordinary relief is appropriate). We therefore ORDER the petition DENIED.
