                                          ORDER DENYING PETITION
                                This original petition for a writ of mandamus seeks to vacate
                    the order denying petitioner's application for admission to practice law in
                    this state and entry of an order admitting him to same. Petitioner asserts
                    that adjustments by the board of bar examiners to his score on the
                    Multistate Bar Examination caused him to incorrectly receive a failing
                    score on the bar examination.
                                SCR 70 provides that "[t]here shall be no right of appeal or
                    review as to the [bar] examination or its results." We conclude that this
                    petition is barred by the express terms of SCR 70. Additionally, we are

     NEVADA

(01 I947A    <Ct.
                 not persuaded that an exception to SCR 70 is warranted in this instance.
                 Accordingly, we
                            ORDER the petition DENIED.
