ORDER DENYING PETITION This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a district court order denying a motion to dismiss in a torts action. Having considered the petition and its documentation, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See Walker v. Second Judicial Dist. Court,
136 Nev. 678, 683, A76 P.3d 1194, 1198 (2020) (declining to grant writ relief when a later appeal was available); 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). Generally, we will not consider writ petitions that challenge orders denying motions to dismiss, and we are not persuaded that any exception to the Supreme Court OF Nevaba C2-l5 206 (0) 19474 eR general rule applies here. Int'l Game Tech., Inc. v. Second Judicial Dist. Court,
