DEONDRE JOHNSON, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE DOUGLAS W. HERNDON, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, and THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges the denial of a pretrial petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Having reviewed the petition, we conclude that this court's intervention by way of extraordinary writ is not warranted because petitioner has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law by way of an appeal from any judgment of conviction. See NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004) ("[T]he right to appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy that precludes writ relief."); see also Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (recognizing that the issuance of a writ of mandamus is discretionary). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
