1Opinion of the Court

ORDER OF DISMISSAL OF EMERGENCY EXPEDITED PETITION FOR EXTRAORDINARY WRIT OF PROHIBITION AND REQUEST FOR ACCELERATED DOCKET

We decline to accept jurisdiction of the Petitioner’s Emergency Expedited Petition for Extraordinary Writ in this matter. Petitioner has an available remedy at law. Acceptance of extraordinary writ jurisdiction is highly discretionary. We note that the Petitioner may only petition this court for an extraordinary writ only where “no other plain, speedy and adequate remedy exists.” See Harris v. Hopi Tribe, 01AC000008, 3 Am. Tribal Law 428, 2001 WL 36175991 (2001).
