ORIGINAL PROCEEDING

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS (By: Recktenwald, C.J., McKenna, Eddins, Ginoza, and Devens, JJ.)

demonstrated a clear and indisputable right to relief, nor a

lack of alternative means to seek the relief sought in this

original proceeding. An extraordinary writ is unwarranted. See

P.3d 1154, 1166 (2023). It is ordered that the petition is denied.
