district court's decision on appeal in the event that he is convicted, NRS
177.015(3); NRS 177.045, he has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at
law and, therefore, this court's intervention by way of an extraordinary
writ is not warranted, NRS 34.170. Petitioner has not pointed to any
circumstances that reveal urgency or strong necessity for this court to
intervene even though there is an alternative remedy available. Cf.
Salaiscooper v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 117 Nev. 892, 901-02, 34 P.3d
509, 515-16 (2001) (concluding that review through writ petition was
warranted even though there was an alternative remedy where there were
56 similar cases with the same issues pending in lower courts and petition
presented issue of great statewide importance). Accordingly, we deny the
petition. See NRAP 21(b).
It is so ORDERED.
