ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for writs of mandamus challenges letters
of dismissal from the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline and the
State Bar of Nevada. 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

writ petition). We therefore
ORDER the petition DENIED.'
