Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

MGM GRAND HOTEL, LLC, No. 74078 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF FDLE CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE MARK B. BAILUS, DISTRICT JUDGE, NOV 1 5 2017 Respondents, and PETER S. WALKER, 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 denying SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA

(0) 1947A summary judgment motions). As petitioner has an adequate legal remedy available in the form of an appeal from the final judgment, see Pan, 120 Nev. at 224, 88 P.3d at 841, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
