Although petitioner appears to have raised valid concerns with the hearing master's interpretation of NRS 432B.550(6)(b), analysis of the child's best interest, and failure to hold an evidentiary hearing, petitioner has not yet obtained the supervising district judge's review of her objection to the hearing master's recommendation. See EDCR 1.46. Accordingly, we conclude that this petition is premature and ORDE.R the petition DENIED.
