SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA (0) 1947A ADD olo—A3L1342- Having considered the petition and supporting documentation, we are not persuaded that petitioners have demonstrated that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. NRS 34.160; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991) see Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 113 Nev. 1343, 1344, 950 P.2d 280, 281 (1997) (observing that this court generally will not consider writ petitions challenging orders denying motions to dismiss). In particular, we are not persuaded that an appeal from an adverse final judgment would be an inadequate legal remedy. Pan, 120 Nev. at 224, 88 P.3d at 841 (recognizing that an appeal from a final judgment is generally an adequate remedy that precludes writ relief).

Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
