                                      ORDER DENYING PETITION
                            This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a
                district court order denying a motion to dismiss. Having considered the
                petition, answer, reply, and record, we conclude that our extraordinary and
                discretionary intervention is not warranted. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.170;
                Int'l Game Tech., Inc. v. Second Judicial Dist. Cou,rt, 124 Nev. 193, 197, 179
                P.3d 556, 559 (2008); Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228,
SUPREME COURT
        OF      88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674,
     NEVADA

(0) 1947A
                                                                     22- 55pLk
                677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991). In particular, interlocutory writ
                relief is generally not available because the district court's order may be
                challenged on appeal from final judgment, providing an adequate legal
                remedy. See Int'l Game Tech., 124 Nev. at 197, 179 P.3d at 559. And we
                conclude that petitioners have not shown that we should consider the
                petition on the grounds that either (1) there's no factual dispute and the
                district court was clearly obligated to dismiss pursuant to a statute or rule
                or (2) an important legal issue requires clarification and judicial economy
                favors entertaining the petition.          See id. at 197-98, 179 P.3d at 559.
                Accordingly, we
                                      ORDER the petition DENIED.'
