GAYLES ZANDERS v. The State of Nevada, Real Party in Interest. (2024)

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus, or other appropriate relief, challenges a district court order denying a motion for a retrial and a district court order denying reconsideration of the order denying a motion for retrial. Petitioner further seeks an order vacating this court's order dismissing appeal in Gayle-Zanders v. State, No. 89139, 2024 WL 3934614, (Aug. 23, 2024) (Order Dismissing Appeal).

Having considered the petition and appendix submitted by petitioner, we are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted at this time. 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.
