JANE DOE, AN INDIVIDUAL, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK AND THE HONORABLE JESSICA K. PETERSON, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, END 2 END COMMUNICATIONS, LLC D/B/A END 2 END TECHNOLOGIES; COX COMMUNICATIONS LAS VEGAS, INC. D/B/A COX COMMUNICATIONS; AND GREGORY JAMES CAMERON, JR., AN INDIVIDUAL, Real Parties in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order dismissing parties from a civil action. Having considered the petition and the supporting documents, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted at this time. See 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 demonstrating 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 entertain a writ petition). Because the challenged order was certified as final under NRCP 54(b), petitioner could have appealed from that order. The availability of another remedy, even one that petitioner chose not to pursue, militates against this court exercising its discretion to consider extraordinary relief. See Pan, 120 Nev. at 224, 88 P.3d at 841 (explaining that writ relief is available when there is no plain, adequate, and speedy legal remedy, and that an appeal is an adequate legal remedy). Accordingly, we
