ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original petition for writs of mandamus challenges letters of dismissal from the Nevada Commission on Judicial Discipline and the State Bar of Nevada.

Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and No. 84371
