IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
SANDRA ANTOINETTE JENSEN, No. 81885 Petitioner, vs. '4E11 F771 THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT r COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF NOV 1 7 2020 CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE EL17/Arti • ris :" F i;UWEi,k C.6bRT CHERYL B. MOSS, DISTRICT JUDGE, BY DEPUTY CLERA Respondents, and TERRY ROBERT JENSEN, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus challenging the district court's continuance of a divorce trial. Having considered the petition, the answer, and the supporting documents, we are not persuaded that our discretionary, extraordinary intervention is warranted. Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (providing that this court has sole discretion in determining if a writ petition will be considered); Pan u. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (explaining that petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted).
Specifically, district courts have an inherent authority to control their calendars, Hunter v. Gang, 132 Nev. 249, 257, 377 P.3d 448, 454 (Ct. App.
.20,41448 2016), and we are confident the district court will resolve the matter pending below as expeditiously as its calendar will permit. Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
