  •                 Game Tech., Inc. v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 
    124 Nev. 193
    , 197, 
    179 P.3d 556
    , 558 (2008) (citations omitted); see NRS 34.160. It is within this
    court's discretion to determine whether a writ petition will be considered.
    Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 
    107 Nev. 674
    , 677, 
    818 P.2d 849
    , 851
    (1991). Petitioners bear the burden of demonstrating that this court's
    extraordinary intervention is warranted.     Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist.
    Court, 
    120 Nev. 222
    , 228, 
    88 P.3d 840
    , 844 (2004). Writ relief is generally
    available, however, only when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate
    remedy in the ordinary course of law. NRS 34.170. Moreover, this court
    has held that the right to appeal is typically an adequate legal remedy
    precluding writ relief. Pan, 120 Nev. at 224, 
    88 P.3d at 841
    .
    Having considered the petition and appendix filed in this
    matter, we conclude that petitioners have not demonstrated that our
    intervention by way of extraordinary relief is warranted. NRAP 21(b)(1),
    Smith, 107 Nev. at 677, 
    818 P.2d at 851
    . Accordingly, we
    ORDER the petition DENIED.
