BRIAN THOMAS BOXLER, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK, AND THE HONORABLE MARIA GALL, Respondents, THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus or, in the alternative, prohibition challenges a district court order denying a motion to dismiss or for an adverse inference instruction based upon alleged spoliation of evidence in a criminal proceeding. Having reviewed the petition, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary intervention is warranted. See NRS 34.170; NRS 34.330; Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004) (writ relief is proper only when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law and the petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that writ relief is warranted). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
