                                           ORDER DENYING PETITION

                                 This pro se original petition for a writ of mandamus seeks to
                     compel the district court to reassign petitioner's postconviction petition for
                     a writ of habeas corpus to a different department and conduct a new
                     evidentiary hearing. Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded
                     that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See
                     NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d
                     840, 841 (2004) (writ relief is proper only when there is no plain, speedy,
                     and adequate remedy at law and the petitioner bears the burden of
                     demonstrating that writ relief is warranted). Accordingly, we
                                 ORDER the petition DENIED.
