TURNER v. EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT IN AND FOR COUNTY OF CLARK (2019)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This pro se petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the denial of petitioner's motion for partial summary judgment and various other actions or inactions in the underlying district court cases.

Having reviewed petitioner's petition, we decline to exercise our discretion to intervene in this matter. Petitioner may challenge adverse events that occurred in the underlying district court proceeding in the context of an appeal from the final judgment. 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.”); 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). We note that petitioner has appealed, in Docket No. 77536, from the dismissal order in the underlying district court cases. Therefore, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.¹
