ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a district court order allowing additional briefing and setting a hearing date in an administrative matter. Having considered the petition and appendices filed in this matter, we are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See NRS 34.160 ; NRS 34.320 ; Halverson v. Miller, 124 Nev. 484, 487, 186 P.3d 893, 896 (2008) (recognizing that the decision to issue a writ of mandamus or prohibition "is solely within this court’s discretion" and that petitioner bears the burden to establish that such extraordinary relief is appropriate). We therefore
We therefore also deny the December 24, 2019, motion for a stay of the district court proceedings.
The Honorable Michael Douglas, Senior Justice, participated in the decision of this matter under a general order of assignment.
