MATHEW LEE WILLIAMS, Petitioner, v. NEVADA BOARD OF PAROLE COMMISSIONERS; MARY BAKER; SCOTT WEISENTHAL; SUSAN L. JACKSON; AND DONNA VERCHIO, Respondents.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

Having considered the petition, we are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. See NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 841, 844 (2004) (explaining that writ relief is proper only when there is not a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law and the petitioner bears the burden to demonstrate that extraordinary relief is warranted). Among other things, petitioner has failed to submit an appendix that includes all records that may be essential to understand the matters set forth in the petition. See NRAP 21(a)(4). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
