SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA

(0) 1947A citarc. lcp-33u91 action alleging violation of the Minimum Wage Amendment (MWA) to the Nevada Constitution. See Nev. Const. art. 15, § 16. Normally, this court will not entertain writ petitions seeking to interdict interlocutory district court orders granting or denying partial summary judgment. See Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 113 Nev. 1343, 1344, 950 P.2d 280, 281 (1997). While this court has, on occasion, departed from this rule, the broad legal question petitioners present to justify extraordinary writ relief—whether the two-year statute of limitations in NRS 608.260 applies to MWA claims—has been addressed by this court in Perry v. Terrible Herbst, Inc., 132 Nev., Adv. Op. , P.3d (2016), filed concurrently. There thus does not appear a basis for us to intercede by extraordinary writ. See State v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 118 Nev. 140, 146, 42 P.3d 233, 237 (2002) (a writ of prohibition or mandamus represents "an extraordinary remedy that will only issue at the discretion of this court"). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
