WONG v. The State of Nevada, Real Party in Interest. (2018)

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a district court order denying a motion to dismiss and/or exclude evidence. Because petitioner can challenge the district court's decision on appeal in the event that she is convicted, NRS 177.015(3); NRS 177.045, petitioner has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law and, therefore, this court's intervention by way of an extraordinary writ is not warranted, NRS 34.170; NRS 34.330. Petitioner has not pointed to any circumstances that reveal urgency or strong necessity for this court to intervene given there is an alternative remedy available. Cf. Salaiscooper v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 117 Nev. 892, 901-02, 34 P.3d 509, 515-16 (2001) (concluding that review through writ petition was warranted even though there was an alternative remedy where there were 56 similar cases with the same issues pending in lower courts and petition presented issue of great statewide importance). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
