Real Parties in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order striking an NRCP 35 medical examination report and the physician's testimony related to that report, but allowing presentation of a medical report that the same physician prepared based on a review of medical records and expert testimony regarding opinions formed therefrom. Having considered the petition and supporting documents, we conclude that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is not warranted. 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, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991). In particular, this matter does not fit within any exception to the general policy against considering writ petitions challenging discovery decisions, see Club Vista Fin. Servs., LLC v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 128 Nev. 224, 228, 276 13 .3d 246, 249 (2012), and we SUPREME COURT
