Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE No. 76848 DEPARTMENT,

Petitioner, vs.

THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, FLE IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF

CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE 4 JOSEPH HARDY, JR., DISTRICT

JUDGE,

041, Respondents, and

LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL,

Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION This original emergency petition for a writ of prohibition or mandamus challenges a district court order requiring Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) representatives to meet and confer with opposing counsel, and then, if necessary, permitting the Las Vegas Review Journal (LVRJ) to take depositions of LVMPD's employees regarding LVMPD's response to LVRJ's request for records under the Nevada Public Records Act. We have considered the petition and the answer to the petition, and we are not satisfied this court's intervention by way of extraordinary writ is warranted. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.320; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004)
