ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS This pro se petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the district court's denial of a motion seeking a legible copy of petitioner's complaint and the appointment of counsel.

Having reviewed petitioner's petition and supporting documents, we decline to exercise our discretion to intervene in this matter. Petitioner may challenge the district court's denial of his motion—and any other relevant actions or omissions that occurred in the underlying district court proceeding in the context of an appeal from the final judgment. See NR.S 34.170; Pan u. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841. (2004) ("IT]he right to appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy that precludes writ relief"); 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). We note that petitioner has appealed, in
