LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE No. 74001 DEPARTMENT, Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF SEP 0 7 2018 CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE ELIZABETI-; A. E ROWN MARK B. BAILUS, DISTRICT JUDGE, CLERK? SUP:nibie COURT BY Respondents, (a.E.I 21(#e Clig-4-1- DEPUTY and THE STATE OF NEVADA; AND DAVID MICHAEL FROSTICK, Real Parties in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF PROHIBITION OR MANDAMUS This original petition for a writ of prohibition or mandamus challenges a district court order compelling production of a Critical Incident Review Team (CIRT) report. Having considered the parties' arguments, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary intervention is 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, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 853 (1991). In particular, we are not persuaded that the district court erred in determining that the CIRT report contained Brady' material, see State v. Huebler, 128 Nev. 192, 198, 275 P.3d 91, 95-96 (2012) (reviewing de novo a

(0) 1947A e FIE!: district court's determination regarding a Brady claim), and petitioner conceded at oral argument that it would be required to produce the CIRT report if it contained Brady materia1. 2 Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
