INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIREFIGHTERS LOCAL 4068 ; and Christopher Van Leuven, Petitioners, v. The EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT of the State of Nevada, IN AND FOR the COUNTY OF CLARK; and the Honorable Veronica Barisich, District Judge, Respondents, and Town of Pahrump, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order granting a motion for partial summary judgment in a breach-of-contract action. Having considered the petition and the supporting documents, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary intervention is warranted. Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court , 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (observing that the party seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing such relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court , 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in determining whether to grant relief). In particular, "the fact that the order may ultimately be challenged on appeal from a final judgment generally precludes writ relief." Pan , 120 Nev. at 224, 88 P.3d at 841, and we are not persuaded by petitioners’ explanation as to why such an appeal would not afford them an adequate remedy. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
