ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order denying petitioners' motion to disqualify a district court judge. Having considered the petition and supporting documents, we conclude that petitioner has failed to meet her burden of demonstrating that extraordinary writ relief is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("Petitioners carry the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted."); Smith v. SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA
