KENNEDY v. The State of Nevada, Real Party in Interest. (2020)

ORDER DENYING PETITION

Kevin Lee Kennedy petitions this court “for writ of mandamus and request for an evidentiary hearing.” Kennedy contends counsel has failed to comply with a district court order to give Kennedy his case file. Kennedy states he sought to enforce the order in the district court in the first instance, but he does not indicate what the district court's response was. He appears to seek sanctions against counsel. Kennedy also asks to have unspecified “recent orders” of the district court vacated and reconsidered, for a determination as to jurisdictional complaints regarding Kennedy v. State, Docket No. 76679-COA (Order of Affirmance, February 11, 2020), and for an evidentiary hearing in which he can raise his claims of ineffective assistance of counsel.

We conclude Kennedy has not demonstrated this court's intervention by way of extraordinary writ is warranted. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (“Petitioner[ ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted.”). Accordingly, without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
