AARON GUERRERO, 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.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus seeks a writ directing the district court to enforce its order granting petitioner's motion to dismiss counsel and for counsel to provide him with his criminal case file.
We conclude that petitioner has failed to demonstrate our intervention by extraordinary writ is warranted. Smith v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 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). Petitioner bears the burden of showing that extraordinary relief is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). Petitioner has not provided this court with all the documentation necessary for this court's consideration of the petition. See NRAP 21(a)(4) (providing that petitioners must submit an appendix containing all documents “essential to understand[ing] the matters set forth in the petition”). Therefore, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRAP 21(b). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
