BROWN v. The State of Nevada, Real Party in Interest. (2019)

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This pro se petition seeks a writ of mandamus directing the district court to dismiss felony charges pending against petitioner. Because petitioner can raise the issues in the petition on appeal from a judgment of conviction in the event he is convicted, see NRS 177.015(3), he has a speedy and adequate remedy that precludes writ relief, see NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004) (“[T]he right to appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy that precludes writ relief.”). We therefore decline to exercise our discretion to consider the petition. See Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (recognizing that the issuance of a writ of mandamus is discretionary). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
