IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES No. 70362
INSURANCE COMPANY, D/B/A GEICO,
A MARYLAND CORPORATION; AND
GENEVA M. SIMMONS,
Petitioners, FILED
vs.
THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT JUN 2 0 2016
COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA,
IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK;
AND THE HONORABLE GLORIA
STURMAN, DISTRICT JUDGE,
Respondents,
and
JESUS BRIONES, AN INDIVIDUAL,

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a
district court order denying in part a motion to dismiss in a tort action.
Having considered the petition and supporting documents, we
are not persuaded that petitioner has met its burden of demonstrating
that writ relief is warranted at this time. NRS 34.160; Pan v. Eighth
Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 841, 844 (2004);
Beazer Homes Nev., Inc. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 575, 578-
79, 97 P.3d 1132, 1134 (2004) (recognizing that this court generally
declines to entertain writ petitions challenging district court orders
denying motions to dismiss). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
