    ORDER DENYING PETITION
    This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition
    challenges district court orders denying motions to dismiss and for
    summary judgment. Having considered the petition and its 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

    burden of showing such relief is warranted); Srnith v. Eighth Judicial Dist.

    that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole
    discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition). Generally,
    we will not consider writ petitions challenging orders denying summary
    judgment or motions to dismiss, and we are not persuaded that any
    exception to the general rules applies here. Int'l Game Tech., Inc. u. Second
