ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus, or
prohibition, seeks a writ directing the district court to vacate petitioner's
sentence and hold a new sentencing hearing, due to alleged errors in
petitioner's judgment of conviction.
The decision to entertain a petition for extraordinary writ relief
lies within the discretion of this court. Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court,
107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991) (recognizing that writ
relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in
determining whether to entertain a writ petition). It is petitioner's burden
to demonstrate that extraordinary relief is warranted. Pan v. Eighth
Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004).
Problematically, petitioner has not provided this court with
exhibits or other documentation that would support his claims for relief.
See NRAP 21(a)(4) (providing the petitioner shall submit an appendix

containing all documents "essential to understand the matters set forth in
the petition). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
