ORDER DENYING PETITION

This is an original petition for a writ of prohibition or mandamus challenging the implementation of Assembly Bill (A.B.) 579, which establishes new classification, registration, and reporting requirements for sex offenders.

IV-1(0087 In seeking relief from the district court's denial of their application for a temporary restraining order to enjoin the implementation of A.B. 579, petitioners challenge the constitutionality of A.B. 579. Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that writ relief is warranted. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.320; see also 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."). Further, we note that because the district court order at issue is the denial of an application for a temporary restraining order, the record below is not sufficiently developed for judicial review. CI Pan, 120 Nev. at 229, 88 P.3d at 844. Accordingly, we lift the stay imposed by this court on July 1, 2016, and we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
