Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

ROSS STRAUSS, No. 77509 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE FILED VALERIE ADAIR, DISTRICT JUDGE, JAN 1 1 2019 Respondents, ELIZABETH A, BROWN CLERK QF SUPREME COURT and BY THE STATE OF NEVADA, DEPUTY CLERK

Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION This petition for a writ of mandamus or alternatively writ of prohibition challenges the denial of a pretrial petition for a writ of habeas corpus and seeks dismissal of count 1 (murder). Having considered the petition, we are not satisfied that this court's intervention by way of extraordinary relief is warranted. See Kussman v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 96 Nev. 544, 545-46, 612 P.2d 679, 680 (1980) (explaining that review of a pretrial probable cause determination through an original writ petition is disfavored); Ostman v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 563, 565, 816 P.2d 458, 459-60 (1991) (entertaining a pretrial challenge to a probable cause determination by original writ petition where the petition presented purely legal issues). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
