Without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised in the documents submitted in this matter, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction because petitioner has an adequate legal remedy by way of an appeal from an order denying a petition for a writ of mandamus. See NRS 34.170; see also NRS 2.090(2).' Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED. 2 tt-91 (17 Douglas Gibbons
