THE SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT

FILE COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, JUL 29 2022 IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF

ELIZABETH A. BROWN WASHOE, CLERK OF SUTREME COURT BY Res • ondent. DEPUTY CLER -1( .-

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This pro se original petition for a writ of mandamus seeks to compel the district court to reassign petitioner's postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus to a different department and conduct a new evidentiary hearing. Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004) (writ relief is proper only when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law and the petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that writ relief is warranted). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
