ORDER DENYING PETITION This original petition for a writ of prohibition or mandamus challenges a district court's prejudgment order granting a mistrial and awarding attorney fees and costs to real party in interest. Having reviewed the briefs and documents submitted in this matter, we decline to exercise our discretion to entertain the writ petition. See Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) ("[T]he issuance of a writ of mandamus or prohibition is purely discretionary with this court.").

Neither a writ of mandamus nor a writ of prohibition will issue when SUPREME COURT Of NEVADA

()) 1947A olegPil.

.20 - 37 qtR1 petitioner has a "plain, speedy and adequate remedy in the ordinary course of law." NRS 34.170; NRS 34.330; Int'l Garne Tech., Inc. v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 124 Nev. 193, 197, 179 P.3d 556, 558 (2008). Petitioner concedes that a writ petition is generally not the appropriate vehicle for challenging the grant of a mistrial and a resulting award of attorney fees and costs. Petitioner contends, however, that the district court conditioned its stay of enforcement or execution of the attorney fees award on the filing of this petition, and an appeal would not be an adequate remedy if the attorney fees award were to be immediately enforced or executed. Because documents submitted in this matter show that the district court will entertain a stay of enforcement or execution for the duration of the proceedings should this petition be denied, we conclude that petitioner has not demonstrated at this time that an appeal from a final judgment would be an inadequate remedy. Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED without prejudice.
