VANESSA PINTO, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE T. ARTHUR RITCHIE, JR., DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, FRANCIS A. PINTO-GUARDADO A/K/A FRANCIS A. GUARDADO-PINTO, Real Parties in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenging a district court order denying a motion to modify the child custody schedule. Having considered the petition, we are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See NRS 34.170; NRS 34.330; Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 841, 844 (2004) (holding that the petitioner bears the burden to demonstrate that extraordinary relief is warranted and providing that writ relief is proper only when there is not a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law). Petitioner fails to address the propriety of writ relief in her petition and does not explain why she lacks an adequate legal remedy in the form of an appeal. See Pan, 120 Nev. at 224, 88 P.3d at 841 (declaring that an appeal is generally a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy precluding writ relief). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
