Virgin Valley Water Dist. v. Dist. Ct. (Paradise Canyon, Llc)

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

VIRGIN VALLEY WATER DISTRICT, No. 83947 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE TIMOTHY C. FEB 1 8 2022 WILLIAMS, DISTRICT JUDGE, ELIZABETH A. BROWN OLE UPREME COURT Respondents, BY DEPUTY CLERK and PARADISE CANYON, LLC, Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION This original petition for a writ of mandamus, prohibition, or certiorari challenges a district court partial summary judgment in a case regarding a water lease agreement. 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 that this court has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition). Specifically, we generally decline to exercise our discretion to grant writ petitions challenging orders denying

motions for summary judgment, and we are not convinced any of the exceptions apply in this case. See Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 113 Nev. 1343, 1344-45, 950 P.2d 280, 281 (1997) (discussing the exceptions to the general rule). We therefore, ORDER the petition DENIED.'
