JOSEPH WAYNE JONES v. THE STATE OF NEVADA (2024)

Supreme Court of Nevada.

JOSEPH WAYNE JONES, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK, Respondent, THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.

No. 88371

Decided: April 05, 2024

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This pro se original petition for a writ of mandamus seeks an order directing the district court to find that petitioner expired his probation and, ostensibly, seeking petitioner's immediate release. 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) (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). Petitioner has failed to show that he lacks a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy. Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
