NORMAN HAROLD FLOWERS, III, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE RONALD J. ISRAEL, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, and THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This petition for a writ of mandamus challenges a district court order denying a pretrial petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Having considered the petition, we are not satisfied that this court's intervention by way of extraordinary relief is warranted. See Kussman v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 96 Nev. 544, 545-46, 612 P.2d 679, 680 (1980) (explaining that review of a pretrial probable cause determination through an original writ petition is disfavored); Ostman v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 563, 565, 816 P.2d 458, 459-60 (1991) (entertaining a pretrial challenge to a probable cause determination by original writ petition where the petition presented purely legal issues). Accordingly, we
We deny the petition for a stay as moot.
