    Having considered petitioner's arguments, we are not
    persuaded that our intervention is warranted.         
    Id.
     In particular, because
    some of the factors set forth in Saavedra-Sandoval v. Wal-Mart Stores,
    Inc., 126 Nev. „ 
    245 P.3d 1198

    support the district court's decision to grant the untimely motion to
    enlarge and to deny the motion to dismiss, the district court neither
    exceeded its jurisdiction nor arbitrarily or capriciously exercise its
    discretion. Smith, 107 Nev. at 677,

    2Moreover, even if Rodriguez-Cortez lacked good cause for filing the
    untimely enlargement motion and for failing to timely serve process,
    dismissal of his third-party complaint would have been without prejudice.
    See NRCP 4(i). And given the applicable time limitations for the claims
    asserted in his complaint, see Pack v. LaTourette, 128 Nev.     „
