IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
WENDY PERKINS, APRN; AND No. 79585 DIGNITY HEALTH, A FOREIGN CORPORATION, D/B/A DIGNITY HEALTH MEDICAL GROUP NEVADA, Petitioners, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF FILED CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE ROB SEP 16 2019 BARE, DISTRICT JUDGE, EuzABETH A. BROWN Respondents, CLERK OF SUPREME COURT and BY C MIKITY CLEK VELLENE TAYLOR, INDIVIDUALLY, AND AS SPECIAL ADMINISTRATRIX OF THE ESTATE OF MASON SAMUEL TAYLOR; AND RONALD TAYLOR, INDIVIDUALLY, Real Parties in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR OTHER EXTRAORDINARY RELIEF This emergency petition for a writ of mandamus or other extraordinary relief challenges an oral September 6, 2019, ruling denying a motion in limine to exclude punitive damages.
Having reviewed the petition and supporting documents, we conclude that our extraordinary intervention is not warranted. In particular, trial is scheduled to commence soon, the district court has advised that the parties can revisit punitive damages and the evidence needed to support the request therefor, and petitioners have an adequate and speedy legal remedy in the form of an appeal from the final judgment.
1q - 38970 precluding writ relief. NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 225, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
