ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order granting• without prejudice a motion to dismiss petitioner's tort complaint as to claims against Caesars Entertainment Corporation. Having considered the petition and supporting documents, we are not persuaded that petitioner has demonstrated that our extraordinary discretionary intervention is warranted. NRS 34.160; Pan v.

"It does not appear that petitioner requested the district court to certify as final the order dismissing her complaint against Caesars Entertainment. Although the decision to grant NRCP 54(b) certification is discretionary with the district court, a properly certified order presents an aggrieved party with an additional adequate remedy at law in the form of an immediate appeal.
