THE STATE OF NEVADA,

Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION This is a petition for a writ of mandamus challenging the district court's denial of a motion to suppress evidence. Because petitioner may raise any suppression issues -on appeal if he is convicted, see NRS 177.01.5(3); NRS 177.045, we decline to exercise original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRS 34.170; Pan u. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004) ("[T]he right to appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy that precludes writ relief."); see also Smith u. Eighth judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (recognizing that the issuance of a writ of mandamus is discretionary). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
