                                       ORDER DENYING PETITION
                             This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges an
                  order of the district court denying a motion to dismiss an indictment.
                  Petitioner Jon Gilbaugh contends that the district court erred in
                  concluding that the State could seek an indictment after voluntarily
                  dismissing charges pursuant to NRS 174.085(5). We conclude that
                  petitioner has not demonstrated that the district court manifestly abused
                  its discretion in concluding that the State could seek an indictment after
                  dismissing a complaint. See NRS 174.085(5) (permitting State to dismiss
                  and refile a complaint prior to the preliminary hearing); Sheriff, Washoe
