YASHOUAFAR v. Raymund Carino on behalf of himself and as Representative of The Class Herein Defined, Real Party in Interest. (2018)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION

This original, emergency petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a district court ruling denying a motion to dismiss for failure to comply with NRS 38.310's mediation requirements.

Having considered the petition and the appendices, we are not satisfied that this court's intervention by way of extraordinary relief is warranted. See NRAP 21(b); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 113 Nev. 1343, 1344-45, 950 P.2d 280, 281 (1997) (observing that this court generally will not consider writ petitions challenging orders denying motions to dismiss). In particular, trial is scheduled to commence in the district court early next week, and petitioner has an adequate and speedy legal remedy in the form of an appeal from any adverse final judgment, precluding writ relief. NRS 34.170; NRS 34.330; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 225, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.¹
