FAISSAL L. AHMEAD, Petitioner, v. WESTERN MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Respondent.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This original, emergency petition for a writ of mandamus seeks an order compelling respondent to extend insurance coverage under a homeowner's policy in defense of petitioner's interests in challenging the foreclosure and sale of his property.
Petitioner's request for emergency relief does not comply with NRAP 21(a)(6) and NRAP 27(e)(3)(B). --------
Having reviewed the petition and supporting documents, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary intervention is warranted. NRAP 21(b); see NRS 34.160 (providing that a writ of mandamus is available to compel the admission of a party to the use and enjoyment of a right or office from which a corporation precludes the party so entitled); NRS 34.170 (stating that the writ is available only when no other adequate legal remedy exists, upon affidavit of the party beneficially interested); Gumm v. State, Dep't of Educ., 121 Nev. 371, 375, 113 P.3d 853, 856 (2005) (explaining that this court will exercise its discretion to issue a writ only upon showing a clear, legal right to relief). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
