                                                ORDER DENYING PETITION
                                      This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges district
                          court orders granting partial summary judgment and granting a motion in
                          limine to exclude evidence in a tort action.
                                      Having considered the petition and its supporting documents,
                          we are not persuaded that our discretionary and extraordinary intervention
                          is warranted. Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679,
                          818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991). In particular, the appendix petitioners
                          provided to support their petition is incomplete and we are not otherwise
                          convinced that petitioners lack an adequate legal remedy in the form of an
                          appeal from any adverse final judgment. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist.
                          Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 841, 844 (2004) (observing that
                          the party seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing such relief is
                          warranted and that the right to appeal is an adequate legal remedy that

                  requisite to mandamus relief, including that petitioners have a legal right
                  to the act the petition seeks to compel, respondent has a plain duty to
                  perform such act, and the absence of an alternate legal remedy). We
