ALEXANDER OCASIO, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE ELIZABETH GOFF GONZALEZ, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, and THE FREMONT STREET EXPERIENCE, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition requesting various relief related to a matter currently assigned to arbitration. Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that petitioner has met his burden to demonstrate that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.320; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991); NRAP 21(b)(1). In particular, petitioner's arguments regarding the district court's actions can be raised in the context of an appeal from an eventual final judgment. See Pan, 120 Nev. at 224, 88 P.3d at 841 (explaining that the right to appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy precluding writ relief). Accordingly, we
In light of our denial of the petition, the motion for a stay of the district court proceedings pending our consideration of this petition is denied as moot. --------
