                   TIMOTHY C. WILLIAMS, DISTRICT
                                                                            TRACE K. UNDEMAN

                                                                         BY   S
                   Respondents,                                               DEPUTY CLERK    (

                   Real Party in Interest.

                                  ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT
                                    OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION
                              This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition
                   challenges a district court order denying, on reconsideration, a motion to
                   dismiss in a contract action. Having considered the petition and
                   supporting documents, we are not persuaded that the district court
                   arbitrarily and capriciously abused its discretion or exceeded its
                   jurisdiction in denying the motion to dismiss, and an adequate remedy
                   exists in the form of an appeal from any adverse final judgment. NRS
                   34.160; NRS 34.320; Int'l Game Tech., Inc. v. Second Judicial Dist. Court,
                   124 Nev. 193, 197, 179 P.3d 556, 558 (2008) (noting that this court
                   typically declines to entertain writ petitions challenging interlocutory
                   orders denying motions to dismiss); Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court,
                   120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (recognizing that petitioner
                   bears the burden to demonstrate that writ relief is warranted); Smith v.
