JEROMY OELKER, Petitioner, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI
This is an original pro se petition for a writ of certiorari challenging the validity of petitioner's judgment of conviction and the denial of petitioner's previously filed original petitions by this court and the court of appeals in Docket Nos. 87377, 87579, & 87790 (rehearing pending).
Having considered the petition and documents submitted by petitioner, we are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (observing that the party seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing that such relief 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).
As petitioner has failed to demonstrate that our intervention by extraordinary writ is warranted, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRAP 21(b). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
