PETER JASON HELFRICH vs. THE STATE OF NEVADA HDSP AARON FORD JAMES DZURENDA PAROLE AND PARDONS BOARD BRIAN WILLIAMS AND JAMES SCALLY (2023)

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original pro se petition for a writ of prohibition or mandamus seeks a writ directing the parole board to release Helfrich to a homeless shelter instead of an NDOC approved halfway house or motel and also challenges conditions of Helfrich's prior confinement.

Having considered the petition, the answer, and accompanying documentation, we are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (observing that the party seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing such relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition).

Additionally, we conclude this petition is now moot and therefore this court's intervention by way of extraordinary relief is no longer warranted. Nat'l Collegiate Athletic Assn v. Univ. of Nev., Reno, 97 Nev. 56, 58, 624 P.2d 10, 11 (1981). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
