ORDER DENYING PETITION

This emergency original petition for a writ of mandamus or certiorari challenges a district court order denying a motion to dismiss an amended information based on various due process and constitutional deficiencies. Petitioners are awaiting trial on one count of sex trafficking of a child in violation of NRS 201.300(2). We have considered the petition, the answer, and the documents submitted to this court, and we are notsatisfied that this court's intervention by way of extraordinary writ is warranted. Accordingly, we deny the petition. See NRAP 21(b).

1. Petitioners submitted a document under seal to this court on May 6, 2014. A party seeking to seal a document in a criminal case pending in this court must file a written motion that identifies the document or information the party seeks to seal and the grounds upon which sealing the subject documents is justified, specifies the duration of the sealing order, and explains why less restrictive means will not adequately protect the material. Howard v. State, 128 Nev. ___, ___, 291 P.3d 137, 142-43 (2012). Petitioners have not sought to seal the document submitted in accordance with Howard. However, having reviewed the document, it does not appear that it is necessary to our resolution of the petition. Therefore, we direct the clerk of this court to return unfiled the document received on May 6, 2014.

Further, we lift the stay of the trial imposed on May 9, 2014.
