LEANDREA DASHA DAVIDSON v. THE STATE OF NEVADA BY AND THROUGH THE CLARK COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY (2025)

ORDER DENYING MANDAMUS AND/OR PROHIBITION PETITION

This is an original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus and/or prohibition challenging petitioner's habitual criminal adjudication and the imposition of consecutive sentences.

Petitioner pleaded guilty in 2009 to burglary and grand larceny and was adjudicated as a habitual criminal and sentenced to serve consecutive prison terms totaling 12-30 years in the aggregate to run consecutively to the sentence imposed in another district court case. In his petition, petitioner is challenging the habitual criminal adjudication and the imposition of consecutive sentences.

Having considered the petition and attached documentation, 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.
