IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

THE WILLICK LAW GROUP, No. 77497 Petitioner, VS. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF FILED CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE ROBERT TEUTON, DISTRICT JUDGE, JAN 1 8 2019 Respondents, EISZASETH A. BROWN CLERK OF SUPREME COURT and BY_Sa ala da DEPUTY CLERK YOLY D'ACOSTA, Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenging a district court order denying petitioner law firm's motion to enforce a contingent fee agreement in the context of a divorce action in which petitioner formerly represented real party in interest Yoly D'Acosta. Having considered petitioner's argument and the supporting documents, we conclude that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is not warranted as to petitioner's request for mandamus relief See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.M 840, 841, 844 (2004); Smith u. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d. 849, 851, 853 (1991). In particular, we note that petitioner's requested relief is unavailable where petitioner did not seek to resolve the attorney fee dispute by either adjudicating an enforceable charging lien or initiating a separate proceeding. See NRS 18.015(3); Golightly & Vannah, PLLC v. TJ Allen, LLC, 132 Nev. 416, 419,373 P.3d 103, 105 (2016); Argentena Consol. Mining SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA Co. v. Jolley Urga Wirth Woodbury & Standish, 125 Nev. 527, 539-40, 216 P.3d 779, 787 (2009), superseded by statute on other grounds as stated in Fredianelli v. Fine Carman Price, 133 Nev., Adv. Op. 74, 402 P.3d 1254 (2017); see also Albert D. Massi, Ltd. v. Bellmyre, 111 Nev. 1520, 1521, 908 P.2d 705, 706 (1995). Insofar as petitioner seeks a writ of prohibition, petitioner provides no cogent argument regarding that relief, and we need not consider it. See Edwards v. Emperor's Garden Rest., 122 Nev. 317, 330 n.38, 130 P.3d 1280, 1288 n.38 (2006). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
