This petition for a writ of certiorari or, alternatively a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order decision in a misdemeanor appeal. We are not satisfied that petitioner has established this court's intervention by way of an extraordinary writ is warranted. See Zamccrripa v. First Judicial Dist. Court, 103 Nev. 638, 640, 747 P.2d 1386, 1387 (1987) (recognizing that a writ of certiorari is an extraordinary remedy and the decision to entertain such a writ lies within the discretion of this court); Poulos v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 98 Nev. 453, 455, 652 P.2d 1177, 1178 (1982) (recognizing that it is within the discretion of this court to determine if a petition for extraordinary relief will be considered). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
