ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order granting a motion to dismiss. Having considered the petition and its supporting documentation, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (observing that the party seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing such relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition). Specifically, we generally decline to exercise our discretion to entertain writ petitions challenging orders resolving motions to dismiss, and we are not convinced
2
;
any of the exceptions apply in this case. See Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist.
Court, 113 Nev. 1343, 1344-45, 950 P.2d 280, 281 (1997) (discussing the
exceptions to the general rule). We therefore,
ORDER the petition DENIED.'
