ORDER DENYING PETITION
FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION

This original, emergency petition for a writ of mandamus or
prohibition challenges a district court order denying a motion in hmine in a
termination of parental rights case.

Having considered the petition and supporting documentation,
we are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention
is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88
P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (observing that the party seeking writ relief bears the
burden of showing such relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist.
Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (recognizing that writ
relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in
determining whether to entertain a writ petition). In particular, the
availability of an appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy precluding
writ relief. Pan, 120 Nev. at 224, 88 P.3d at 841; see NRS 34.170; NRS

34.330. Petitioner may appeal from the district court’s final order in the

22-3246

 

 

 
underlying matter, if aggrieved, and we are not persuaded that such an
appeal would be an inadequate remedy here. Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
