ORDER DENYING PETITION

This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus challenging
a district court order denying a motion to strike a request for a trial de novo
and a district court order denying a motion for reconsideration. Petitioner
asserts that Real Party in Interest failed to participate in the mandatory
court-annexed arbitration program in good faith and therefore the district
court should have stricken her request for a trial de novo.

A writ of mandamus is available when the petitioner lacks a
plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law. NRS 34.170; Pan vu. kighth
Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.8d 840, 841 (2004).
“Petitioners carry the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is
warranted.” Pan, 120 Nev. at 228, 88 P.3d at 844. After reviewing the
instant petition, we conclude that Petitioner has failed to meet its burden

of demonstrating that it lacks an adequate remedy at law by way of an

a final judgment is an adequate remedy to challenge bad faith participation
in the court-annexed arbitration program). Accordingly, we
