IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

FAMILY HOME HOSPICE, INC., No. 72874 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE JUN 1 5201? VALERIE ADAIR, DISTRICT JUDGE, T(.1 i(AERCAT1 Respondents, a rp,i'v1F,(AVIIIML CQUF9 and MARILYN TRIPI, AN INDIVIDUAL, AND AS SPECIAL ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ESTATE OF DIGNA OTERO, Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order denying a motion for summary judgment in a tort action. Having considered the petition and supporting documents, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991); see Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 113 Nev. 1343, 1344-45, 950 P.2d 280, 281 (1997) (observing that this court generally will not consider writ petitions challenging orders

SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA denying summary judgment). In particular, petitioner has an adequate remedy in the form of an appeal from any adverse final judgment. NRS 34.170; Pan, 120 Nev. at 224, 88 P.3d at 841. We therefore ORDER the petition DENIED.
