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

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order denying a motion to suppress a statement to police pursuant to Jackson v. Denno, 378 U.S. 368 (1964).¹ Having considered the petition and supporting documents, we conclude that our intervention is not warranted as petitioner has an adequate remedy by way of an appeal should he be convicted. See NRS 34.170; Williams v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 127 Nev. 518, 525, 262 P.3d 360, 365 (2011) (recognizing that writ relief is generally inappropriate to address “evidentiary rulings, as those rulings are discretionary and there typically is an adequate remedy in the form of an appeal following an adverse final judgment.”). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.

FOOTNOTES

1.   In the alternative, petitioner seeks a writ of prohibition. Because ruling on a motion to suppress is not outside of a district court's jurisdiction, such a writ is not available. NRS 34.320.
