COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED

BY
Res • ondents. DEPUll<
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is an original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus or in
the alternative to show cause pursuant to NRS 34.160 et seq. seeking to
compel the district court to conduct an evidentiary hearing and consider the
merits of petitioner's habeas petition.
This court has original jurisdiction to issue writs of mandamus
and the issuance of such extraordinary relief is within this court's sole
discretion. See Nev. Const. art. 6, § 4; D.R. Horton, Inc. v. Eighth Judicial
Dist. Court, 123 Nev. 468, 474-75, 168 P.3d 731, 736-37 (2007). Petitioner
bears the burden to show that extraordinary relief is warranted and such
relief is proper only when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy
at law. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88
P.3d 840, 841, 844 (2004).
Although petitioner provided a brief affidavit wherein he
references the dismissal of a habeas petition, he has not provided this court
with any record or documentation in support of his claims and necessary for
this court's consideration of the petition. See NRAP 21(a)(4) (providing that
petitioner shall submit an appendix containing all documents "essential to
SUPREME COURT
OF
NEVADA
(01 1947A 44#2P.
understand[ing] the matters set forth in the petition"). We conclude that
petitioner has failed to demonstrate our intervention by extraordinary writ
is warranted. Therefore, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in
this matter. See NRAP 21(b). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
