IN RE: the Parental Rights as to A.S., a minor child. A.S., Petitioner, v. The Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada, in and for the County of Clark; and the Honorable Bryce C. Duckworth, District Judge, Respondents, Denita S.; and Clark County Department of Family Services, Real Parties in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a district court order denying a request to have a termination of parental rights matter heard by a district court judge instead of a hearing master. Having considered petitioner's arguments, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See Int'l Game Tech., Inc. v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 124 Nev. 193, 197, 179 P.3d 556, 558 (2008) (“Writ relief is not available ․ when an adequate and speedy legal remedy exists.”); Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 841, 843-44 (2004) (providing that petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that writ relief is warranted and observing that an appeal from a final judgment is generally an adequate remedy precluding writ relief). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
