Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

DAVID LEVOYD REED, No. 82084 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF FILED CLARK, DEC 0 1 2020 Respondent, ELIZABETH A. BROWN and CUERK9F 181PRIEME COURT CALVIN JOHNSON, WARDEN, BY 'nijk De CLEFIX Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus/certiorari challenges the district court's denial of petitioner's petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary intervention is warranted because petitioner has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy available to him by way of his pending appeal from the district court's ruling. See NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004) (noting that a writ of mandamus is proper only when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law and "the right to appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy that precludes writ relief."). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
