ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This emergency, original petition for a writ of mandamus seeks to compel the district court to require the presence of associated local counsel at trial under SCR 42.
A writ of mandamus may be available to compel a legally required act or to correct an arbitrary and capricious exercise of discretion. NRS 34.160. Whether to issue extraordinary writ relief is solely within this courts discretion, however, Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991), and it is petitioners burden to demonstrate that such relief is warranted, Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). Having reviewed the petition and appendix in this matter, we decline to intervene. Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
