JESSICA M. BROWN, Petitioner, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This is pro se original petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to compel the district court to determine whether there was probable cause for the allegations against petitioner. We are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 841, 844 (2004) (writ relief is proper only when there is not a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law and the petitioner bears the burden to demonstrate that extraordinary relief is warranted). Petitioner has failed to submit an appendix with all records essential to understanding the petition. See NRAP 21(a)(4). Petitioner has also failed to show that she lacks a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy.1 Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
