TAYLOR v. ELEVENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT IN AND FOR COUNTY OF PERSHING (2020)

ORDER DISMISSING PETITION

This original petition for a writ of mandamus was docketed in the Supreme Court as a criminal matter on January 22, 2020. Consequently, the filing fee was waived upon docketing. NRS 2.250(1)(d). This matter was subsequently transferred to the Court of Appeals on February 6. Thereafter this court concluded that, rather than being a criminal matter, this is a civil matter. And because the filing fee was inadvertently waived and this matter was docketed without payment of the required filing fee, on February 11, we directed petitioner to pay the $250 filing fee or demonstrate compliance with NRAP 24 within 10 days.

On February 20, petitioner requested an extension of time to comply with this directive, as he needed to obtain a prison financial certificate for his application to proceed in forma pauperis. This request was granted on March 3, and petitioner was given a 30-day extension to provide the required financial certificate. Our March 3 order further noted that failure to comply with that order’s directive may result in the dismissal of this matter.

Petitioner’s financial certificate was due on April 2, but to date, petitioner has not submitted this document or otherwise responded to our March 3 order. As a result, we dismiss the instant petition for mandamus relief.

It is so ORDERED.
