                                      ORDER DENYING PETITION
                            This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the
                propriety of the district court judge presiding over a hearing regarding a
                Rule 11 motion for sanctions. Having reviewed the petition and its
                accompanying motion for a stay, we decline to intervene. NRS 34.160.
                Accordingly, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the
                issues raised in the petition, we deny the motion for stay and
                            ORDER the petition DENIED.



                                                                    J.
