IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

JUANA GUZMAN BUSTAMANTE, No. 78798 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; ANI) THE HONORABLE DENISE L. GENTILE, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, and JEFFREY E. HERNANDEZ, Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a February 11, 2019, district court "minute order" denying a motion to designate child witnesses.

Having reviewed the petition and supporting documents, we conclude that our ordinary intervention is not warranted at this time. Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 .P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (providing that petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (explaining that it is within this court's sole discretion to determine if a writ petition will be considered); NRAP 21(b)(1). Petitioner has not provided a written, file-stamped district court order, which precludes our review. See Diu. of Child & Family Servs. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 445, 451, 92 P.3d 1239, 1243 (2004); Rust v. Clark Cty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 689, 747 P.2d 1380, 1382 (1987) (providing that a minute order is not effective for any purpose). Further, SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA - et 91a (0) 194 petitioner provides no explanation as to why she waited until May 21, 2019, to challenge a February 2019 ruling. See, e.g., 13uckholt u. Dist. Court, 94 Nev. 631, 633, 584 P.2d 672, 673 (1978) (recognizing that the lathes doctinre applies to petitions for a writ of mandamus). Accordingly, we deny this writ petition without prejudice to petitioner's ability to file a new petition challenging a written, file-stamped order, if deemed appropriate.

It is so ORDERED.
