CARTWRIGHT v. Catherine Torres, Real Party in Interest. (2024)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order denying a request for attorney fees under NRS 18.070 following a mistrial in a tort action. Having considered the petition and the supporting documents, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. Pan v. Eighth, Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (observing that the party seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing such relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and this court has sole discretion in determining whether to grant relief). Specifically, petitioner has not demonstrated that there is no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law warranting extraordinary relief. Pan, 120 Nev. at 228, 88 P.3d at 844 (explaining that an appeal from a final judgment is a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
