ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI OR PROHIBITION
This original petition for a writ of certiorari or prohibition seeks to vacate an agency order directing a second runoff election to determine the bargaining agent of Clark County School District classified employees. Writ relief typically is not available, however, when petitioner has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law, such as an appeal. See NRS 34.020(2); NRS 34.330; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004). Here, petitioner failed to appeal from two district court orders that denied judicial and extraordinary review of this matter and thus resolved all issues before the court. Pan, 120 Nev. at 224-25, 88 P.3d at 841 (noting that writ relief is not available to correct an untimely notice of appeal). Moreover, judicial review of this matter will likely be available in the future. NRS 233B.130. Therefore, although we have considered petitioner's arguments in favor of our review of this matter, we nevertheless decline to intervene by way of extraordinary writ and thus
Petitioner's September 9, 2015, motion to expedite is denied as moot. --------
