ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order granting a motion to compel arbitration.

Having considered the petition and supporting documents, we are not persuaded that petitioners have demonstrated that the order compelling arbitration qualifies for mandamus review. NRS 34.160; Int'l Game Tech., Inc. v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 124 Nev. 193, 197, 179 P.3d 556, 558 (2008); Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (recognizing that the decision to entertain a petition for a writ of mandamus “is purely discretionary with this court”); see Tallman v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 131 Nev. 713, 719, 724, 359 P.3d 113, 117-18, 122 (2015) (observing that a party seeking mandamus review of an order compelling arbitration still must show why an eventual appeal does not provide an adequate and speedy remedy “and that the matter meets the other criteria for extraordinary writ relief, i.e., that mandamus is needed ‘to compel the performance of an act that the law requires or to control a manifest abuse of discretion’ by the district court” (quoting State ex rel. Masto v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 125 Nev. 37, 43-44, 199 P.3d 828, 832 (2009))). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
