FIGUEROA v. The State of Nevada, Real Party in Interest. (2023)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR ADDITIONAL TIME

This pro se petition seeks additional time to file a petition for a writ of mandamus.

In the petition, petitioner asserts that he is indigent and needs more time to file a petition for a writ of mandamus challenging a district court order denying his motion for appointment of counsel in an appeal from a misdemeanor traffic conviction. We are unable to consider petitioner's request, however, as he did not fully comply with NRAP 21 (governing writ petitions) and NRAP 27(e) (governing emergency petitions). For example, petitioner failed to provide proof of the petition's service on respondents and real party in interest, a verification, and a statement explaining the facts necessary to understand the petition and the reasons why relief should issue, including points and legal authorities.¹ It is unclear from the petition what deadline petitioner faces and why additional time is needed. And to the extent petitioner seeks, in this petition, an order directing the district court to appoint counsel, the same deficiencies preclude relief. Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
