IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

JOHN DATTALA, No. 83939 Petitioner, VS. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT FILE COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; FEB 8 2022 AND THE HONORABLE ADRIANA A. BROWN

ESCOBAR, DISTRICT JUDGE, DEpurt CLERK Respondents, and EUSTACHIUS C. BURSEY; PRECISION ASSETS; ACRY DEVELOPMENT LLC; LILLIAN MEDINA; AND WFG NATIONAL TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY, Real Parties in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a

district court partial summary judgment in a property title dispute. Having considered the petition and its supporting documentation, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (observing that the party seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing such relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition). Specifically, we generally decline to exercise our discretion to grant writ petitions challenging orders resolving motions for summary judgment, and we are not convinced any of the exceptions apply in this case. See Smith v. Eighth SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA

(0) ISI4M aftUp 2 2- esci Zo Judicial Dist. Court, 113 Nev. 1343, 1344-45, 950 P.2d 280, 281 (1997) (discussing the exceptions to the general rule). Moreover, the district court stated it would consider certifying the challenged order as final pursuant to NRCP 54(b) if a written motion were filed, which would make the order appealable. See NRAP 3A(b)(1) (providing that final judgments are appealable); Pan, 120 Nev. at 223, 88 P.3d at 841 (recognizing that "an appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy that precludes writ relief). We therefore, ORDER the petition DENIED.'
