OCT 14 2022 CLARK, Respondents, CLE ABEbRene: COURT and

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION

This original, emergency petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges a district court order denying a motion in hmine in a termination of parental rights case.

Having considered the petition and supporting documentation, we are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. 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); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition). In particular, the availability of an appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy precluding writ relief. Pan, 120 Nev. at 224, 88 P.3d at 841; see NRS 34.170; NRS

34.330. Petitioner may appeal from the district court’s final order in the

22-3246

underlying matter, if aggrieved, and we are not persuaded that such an appeal would be an inadequate remedy here. Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
