IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

MIKEN WONG, No. 77053 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; FILED AND THE HONORABLE MICHELLE OCT 1 8 2018 LEAVITT, DISTRICT JUDGE, ELIZABETH k BROWN Respondents, CLERK Oj SUPREME COURT BY and DEPUTY CLERK

THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a district court order denying a motion to dismiss and/or exclude evidence. Because petitioner can challenge the district court's decision on appeal in the event that she is convicted, NRS 177.015(3); NRS 177.045, petitioner has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law and, therefore, this court's intervention by way of an extraordinary writ is not warranted, NRS 34.170; NRS 34.330. Petitioner has not pointed to any circumstances that reveal urgency or strong necessity for this court to intervene given there is an alternative remedy available. Cf. Salaiscooper v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 117 Nev. 892, 901-02, 34 P.3d 509, 515-16 (2001) (concluding that review through writ petition was warranted even though there was an alternative remedy where there were 56 similar cases with the

SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA

-6 1 i l39 same issues pending in lower courts and petition presented issue of great statewide importance). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
