ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original petition for a writ of prohibition or mandamus challenges a district court order awarding petitioner Daniel Simon attorney fees in quantum meruit. Simon argues the district court incorrectly calculated the attorney fee award. But we already reviewed the challenged district court order in a direct appeal, Edgeworth Family Tr. v. Simon, Nos. 83258/83260, 2022 WI, 4298625 (Nev. Sept. 16, 2022) (Order Vacating Judgment and Remanding),' where we vacated the fee award and remanded for further proceedings. As a result, Simon has no order to challenge, and his petition is thus moot. See Natl Collegiate Athletic Ass'n v. Univ. of Nev., Reno, 97 Nev. 56, 58, 624 P.2d 10, 11 (1981) (“A moot case is one which seeks to determine an abstract question which does not rest upon existing facts or
