DE'LOIS Y. TURNER,

Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus challenging a district court order denying a motion to strike a request for a trial de novo and a district court order denying a motion for reconsideration. Petitioner asserts that Real Party in Interest failed to participate in the mandatory court-annexed arbitration program in good faith and therefore the district court should have stricken her request for a trial de novo.

A writ of mandamus is available when the petitioner lacks a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law. NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004).

"Petitioners carry the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted." Pan, 120 Nev. at 228, 88 P.3d at 844. After reviewing the instant petition, we conclude that Petitioner has failed to meet its burden of demonstrating that it lacks an adequate remedy at law by way of an SUPREME COURT

Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
