Garcia (Maria) v. Dist. Ct. (State)

 general rule, we have decline to entertain writs that request review of a
decision of the district court acting in its appellate capacity unless the
district court has improperly refused to exercise its jurisdiction, has
exceeded its jurisdiction, or has exercised its discretion in an arbitrary or
capricious manner." State v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court (Hedland), 116
Nev. 127, 134, 994 P.2d 692, 696 (2000). Here, the district court took
jurisdiction of petitioner's appeal and denied relief on the grounds that
sufficient evidence supported the conviction and the de minimus doctrine
did not apply. Because the district court exercised and did not exceed its
jurisdiction and did not act in an arbitrary or capricious manner, its
decision is not reviewable by way of a petition for a writ of mandamus. We
therefore
ORDER the petition DENIED.
