                        ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
                             This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus challenging
                  a district court order granting a motion for a continuance and a stay.
                  Having considered the arguments raised in the petition, we are not
                  persuaded that the district court arbitrarily or capriciously abused its
                  discretion in granting the motion so as to warrant our extraordinary and
                  discretionary intervention. NRS 34.160; Int'l Game Tech., Inc. v. Second
