FILE

KERRY LOUISE EARLEY, DISTRICT SEP 1 4 2018 JUDGE,

ELIZABETH A. BROWN

Respondents, CLERK OF SUPREME COURT BY

and DEPUTY CLER K TIMOTHY FILSON, WARDEN; AND ADAM P. LAXALT, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NEVADA, Real Parties in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This petition for a writ of mandamus and or prohibition challenges the district court's resolution of discovery motions filed in a postconviction proceeding. Because petitioner can challenge the district court's decisions on appeal if the petition is denied, NRS 34.575(1); NRS 177.045, petitioner has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law and, therefore, this court's intervention by way of an extraordinary writ is not warranted, NRS 34.170. Petitioner has not demonstrated any circumstances that reveal urgency or strong necessity for this court to intervene even though there is an alternative remedy available. CI
