BRIAN EUGENE LEPLEY, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order or actions related to a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. We decline to intervene by way of extraordinary writ because petitioner has an adequate remedy at law in that he may appeal from any adverse final decision entered by the district court. See NRS 34.170 (mandamus will issue when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate legal remedy); 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"). Accordingly, we
The motion to waive the filing fee is denied because no filing fee was charged in this matter. See NRS 2.250(1)(d)(3).
ORDER the petition DENIED.
