CARL KINCAID, Petitioner, v. THE SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF WASHOE; AND THE HONORABLE CONNIE J. STEINHEIMER, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, and WASHOE COUNTY, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI
This original petition for a writ of certiorari seeks an order confirming an arbitration award by vacating the district court's prior order vacating an arbitration award and remanding for further arbitral proceedings.
A writ of certiorari is available to correct a lower tribunal's judicial action if the tribunal exceeded its jurisdiction "and there is no appeal, nor, in the judgment of the court, any plain, speedy and adequate remedy." NRS 34.020(2); Dangberg Holdings Nev., LLC v. Douglas Cnty., 115 Nev. 129, 137-38, 978 P.2d 311, 316 (1999). Whether a writ of certiorari will be considered is within this court's discretion. Dangberg Holdings, 115 Nev. at 138, 978 P.2d at 316.
Having considered the petition, we conclude that petitioner has failed to demonstrate that extraordinary relief is warranted. Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
