DOUGLAS HARRY WARENBACK, Petitioner, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the district court's referral of petitioner Douglas Harry Warenback to the Department of Corrections for forfeiture of statutory credits. We have considered the petition and supplements to the petition, and we are not satisfied this court's intervention by way of extraordinary writ is warranted. See NRS 34.160; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (the "[p]etitioner[ ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted."). Specifically, we note Warenback has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy because he can challenge the referral for the forfeiture of credit in his appeal from the denial of his postconviction petition. See NRS 34.170; NRS 34.575(1). Accordingly, without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
