CHARTWELL ADVISORY GROUP, LTD.; AND JOHN BARTLETT, ESQUIRE, Petitioners, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE KENNETH C. CORY, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, and STATION CASINOS, LLC, Real Party in Interest.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION
This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenging a district court's refusal to stay the proceedings. Having considered the petition and supporting documents before us, we conclude that petitioners have failed to demonstrate that our extraordinary intervention is warranted at this time. Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991) (holding that whether to consider a writ petition is within the discretion of this court). In this regard, based on the documentation before us, we cannot conclude that the district court's denial of petitioners' stay motion was an arbitrary or capricious abuse of discretion. Int'l Game Tech., Inc. v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 124 Nev. 193, 197, 179 P.3d 556, 558 (2008) (holding that a writ of mandamus may issue to address an arbitrary or capricious abuse of discretion); see Pan v. Eight Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 229, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("If essential information is left out of the petition and accompanying documentation, we have no way of properly evaluating the petition."). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
