Real Parties in Interest.

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order denying a motion to disqualify an arbitrator. On June 18, 2013, real parties in interest filed an emergency motion to dismiss this writ petition. In their motion, real parties in interest indicate that they have agreed to proceed in the underlying arbitration without the challenged arbitrator and that, consequently, petitioner has effectively obtained the relief it seeks in this writ petition. On June 26, 2013, petitioner filed an opposition, asking that this court nevertheless entertain its writ petition because the challenged arbitrator is still presiding over the claims of several hundred other plaintiffs in two separate actions that are being overseen by federal courts.

Having considered petitioner's writ petition, real parties in interest's motion to dismiss, and petitioner's opposition thereto, we conclude that entertaining this writ petition would be inappropriate. Specifically, it appears that we would be deciding a legal issue that would have no effect on the named real parties in interest. Personhood Nev. v. Bristol, 126 Nev. „ 245 P.3d 572, 574 (2010) ("This court's duty is not to render advisory opinions but, rather, to resolve actual controversies by an enforceable judgment."). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DISMISSED.' tietAtt..‘ , Hardesty
