Opinion
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
JAMES RUSSELL LIZZIO, AN No. 78672 INDIVIDUAL, Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF FILED CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE JUN 1 7 2019 STEFANY MILEY, DISTRICT JUDGE, ELIZABETH A. BROWN Respondents, CLERK OF SUPREME COURT BY —6-1-Y.C..W.44aear- and DEPUTY CLERK CARLOS CHAVEZ-BELMONTE, AN INDIVIDUAL, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a district court decision permitting the use of a voir dire questionnaire. Having considered the petition and appendix filed in this matter, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.320; Halverson v. Miller, 124 Nev. 484, 487, 186 P.3d 893, 896 (2008) (recognizing that the decision to issue a writ of mandamus or prohibition "is solely within this court's discretion" and that petitioner bears the burden to establish that such extraordinary relief is appropriate). We therefore ORDER the petition DENIED.
