Gov't Employees Ins. Co. v. Dist. Ct. (Briones)

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,

Real Party in Interest.

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.
