IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA THE STATE OF NEVADA, No. 85284 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF FILED CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE MICHELLE LEAVITT, DISTRICT SEP 08 2022 ELIZA:7.111TH A. BROWN JUDGE, CLERKQF CUPREME COURT Respondents, BY DEPUTY CLERK and JASON DUVAL MCCARTY, Real Party in Interest. ORDER DENYING EMERGENCY PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS This original, emergency petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court decision on the basis the district court manifestly abused its discretion when it refused to grant a mistrial based upon clear juror misconduct. Petitioner, the State, has also filed an emergency motion for stay. Having considered the petition and the transcripts of proceedings provided by the State, we are not persuaded that the State has demonstrated 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 v. 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 SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA 101 I 947A • i warranted). To the contrary, we conclude that writ relief is not justified because the district court did not abuse its considerable discretion in finding that manifest necessity did not warrant granting the State's motion for a mistrial over the defendant's objection. Rudin v. State, 120 Nev. 121, 142, 86 P.3d 572, 586 (2004) ("Where the State moves for a mistrial or the court declares a mistrial on its own motion, double jeopardy bars retrial unless the declaration of the mistrial was dictated by manifest necessity or the ends of justice." (internal quotation marks omitted)); see also Jeffries v. State, 133 Nev. 331, 333, 397 P.3d 21, 25 (2017). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.1 Silver , J. Cadish Pick. . J.
