PAMELA KEHALY v. WILLIAM KEHALY (2023)

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 a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.

Having reviewed the petition and answer, we decline to exercise our discretion to entertain the petition. D.R. Horton, Inc. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 123 Nev. 468, 475, 168 P.3d 731, 737 (2007) (recognizing this court's broad discretion in determining whether to consider a petition for writ of mandamus or prohibition). Writ relief is generally not available where petitioner has a plain, speedy, and adequate legal remedy at law by way of an appeal from a final judgment. Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004) (“[T]he right to appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy that precludes writ relief.”). In this case, we hold that petitioner's right to appeal is an adequate remedy, and therefore we,

ORDER the petition DENIED.
