Moran (Marvin) v. Dist. Ct. (State)

mandamus is an extraordinary remedy, and it is within the discretion of this court to determine if a petition will be considered. See Poulos v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 98 Nev. 453, 455, 652 P.2d 1177, 1178 (1982); see also State ex rel. Dep't Transp. v. Thompson, 99 Nev. 358, 360, 662 P.2d 1338, 1339 (1983). Because petitioner has an adequate remedy at law to challenge the district court's ruling by way of an appeal should he be convicted, see Williams v. Eight Judicial Dist. Court, 127 Nev. , 262 P.3d 360, 365 (2011) (emphasizing that "generally this court will not consider writ petitions challenging evidentiary rulings, as those rulings are discretionary and there typically is an adequate remedy in the form of an appeal following an adverse final judgment"), we ORDER the petition DENIED.
