NICOLE CHRISTINE FOLLOWILL v. STATE OF NEVADA PAROLE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS COMMISSIONER LAMICIA BAILEY COMMISSIONER ERIC CHRISTIANSEN COMMISSIONER DONNA VERCHIO COMMISSIONER SCOTT WEISENTHAL AND EXECUTIVE SECRETARY KATIE FRANKER (2023)

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the denial of parole to petitioner Nicole Christine Followill. Having considered this petition, we are not persuaded that our intervention is warranted. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.170; Round Hill Gen. Improvement Dist. v. Newman, 97 Nev. 601, 603-04, 637 P.2d 534, 536 (1981) (“Mandamus will not lie to control discretionary action, unless discretion is manifestly abused or is exercised arbitrarily or capriciously.” (internal citation omitted)). Followill challenged the denial of parole in a petition for a writ of mandamus filed in the district court and appealed from the district court's denial of that petition. See Followill v. Parole Bd. of Comm'rs, No. 86099, 2023 WL 2414975 (Nev., March 8, 2023) (Order Dismissing Appeal). As Followill had—and indeed pursued—a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law, she fails to demonstrate that extraordinary relief is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 841, 844 (2004) (noting that a writ of mandamus is proper only when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law and explaining that petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that writ relief is warranted). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
