SOUTHERN HILLS MEDICAL No. 73900 CENTER, LLC, D/B/A SOUTHERN HILLS HOSPITAL & MEDICAL CENTER, Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT FILE COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; OCT 1 3 2017 AND THE HONORABLE RONALD J. ELIZARETH A. BROWN CLERK Or SUPREME COURT ISRAEL, DISTRICT JUDGE, BY DERLFI L.

Respondents, and MARCIA SAVAGE, INDIVIDUALLY, AND AS ADMINISTRATRIX OF THE ESTATE OF RONALD J. SAVAGE, Real Parties in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a district court order adopting a discovery commissioner's report and recommendation regarding production of documents for in camera review.

Having considered the petition and supporting documents, we are not persuaded that writ relief is warranted. Int? Game Tech., Inc. v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 124 Nev. 193, 197, 179 P.3d 556, 558 (2008); Pan V. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991); see Club Vista Fin. Servs., LLC v. Eighth Judicial Dist.

Court, 128 Nev. 224, 228, 276 P.3d 246, 249 (2012) ("Discovery matters are within the district court's sound discretion, and [this court] will not disturb SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA 10) 1947A 4e4 17- 3533 a district court's ruling regarding discovery unless the court has clearly abused its discretion."). As petitioner has not demonstrated that the district court "clearly abused its discretion" in approving the recommendation for in camera review of certain documents to determine whether the documents are privileged, Club Vista, 276 P.3d at 249, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
