ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS This original petition for a writ of mandamus or other extraordinary relief challenges district court orders denying partial summary judgment and denying a request for attorney fees and costs in a tort action. Having considered petitioner's argument and the supporting documents, we conclude that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is not warranted. NRS 34.160; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 841, 844 (2004) (stating that an appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy precluding writ relief and recognizing that petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that writ relief is warranted); 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 a district court's ruling regarding discovery unless the court has clearly abused its discretion."); Smith v.
