ORDER DENYING PETITION This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order denying petitioner's motion to amend in a tort action. Having considered the petition and its documentation, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted because petitioner has an adequate remedy. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 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 generally an adequate legal remedy precluding writ relief); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 SUPFIEME COURT

(0) I947A 44ggpr4

2o -(4ici6d 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). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
