JOANAH SOSA CIRIACO AND JOAN IVY SOSA CIRIACO, Petitioners, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK, AND THE HONORABLE BITA YEAGER, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, ELAHE EGHDAMIYAN, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a district court order denying a motion to enforce a settlement agreement.
Having reviewed the petition and supporting documents, we conclude that petitioners have failed to demonstrate that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. Pan v. Eighth. Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 841, 844 (2004) (observing that petitioners bear the burden to show that writ 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 that the decision to entertain a writ petition lies within the discretion of this court). In particular, we are not persuaded that an appeal from any adverse final judgment would be an inadequate legal remedy. Pan, 120 Nev. at 224-25, 88 P.3d at 841 (stating that an appeal is generally an adequate remedy and even when not immediately available because the challenged order is interlocutory in nature, the fact that the order may ultimately be challenged on appeal generally precludes writ relief). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
