Grimaldi v. Dist. Ct. (Valley Health Sys., LLC)

222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). Writ relief is generally available only when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy in the ordinary course of law. NRS 34.170; NRS 34.330; Smith, 107 Nev. at 677, 818 P.2d at 851. Moreover, this court has held that the right to appeal is typically an adequate legal remedy precluding writ relief. Pan, 120 Nev. at 224, 88 P.3d at 841.

Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that our intervention by way of extraordinary relief is warranted. NRAP 21(b)(1); Pan, 120 Nev. at 228, 88 P.3d at 844; Smith, 107 Nev. at 677, 818 P.2d at 851. Specifically, petitioner has an adequate legal remedy in the form of an appeal. Pan, 120 Nev. at 224, 88 P.3d at 841. We also note that petitioner delayed seeking writ relief from this court, adding to the expenditure of party and judicial resources in the district court were we to intervene. Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.'
