ARTHUR JULIUS-GREENE BERAHA, Petitioner, v. THE FIRST JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CARSON CITY; AND THE HONORABLE KRISTIN LUIS, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, THE STATE OF NEVADA EX. REL. NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Real Parties in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This is a pro se original petition for a writ of mandamus challenging a district court order denying a writ of mandamus to compel public records. Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that writ relief is warranted because petitioner had a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy available to him by way of an appeal. See NRS 34.330; Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004) (explaining that writ relief is proper only when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law and noting that an appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy that precludes writ relief); see also Las Vegas Rev.-J., Inc. v. Las Vegas Metro. Police Dep't, 139 Nev., Adv. Op. 8, 526 P.3d 724 (2023) (considering an appeal from a district court order denying a petition for a writ of mandamus to compel public records). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
