BRESLOW, DISTRICT JUDGE, BY DEPLaY CLERK Respondents, and JEFFERY ALAN JOHNSON; JEFFERY ALAN JOHNSON, JR.; DONNA ROBINSON; DAVID "MIKE" WALLS; AND LINDA WALLS, INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF THOSE SIMILARLY SITUATED, Real Parties in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION

This original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges district court orders certifying a class action and denying a motion to decertify the class. Having considered the petition and supporting documentation, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted at this time. Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition). In particular, we are not persuaded that an appeal from an adverse final judgment would fail to SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA

{0) I947A pft-co-roa provide petitioner with an adequate legal remedy. See Pan v. Eighth

Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 841, 844 (2004) (observing that the party seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing such relief is warranted and that the right to appeal is an adequate legal remedy that may preclude writ relief). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.'
