ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges district court summary judgments in a tort action. Having considered the petition and appendices filed in this matter, we conclude that our extraordinary intervention is not warranted. See Halverson v.

In particular, petitioner has an adequate and speedy remedy in the form of an appeal from the final judgment, which precludes writ relief. NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.1
