VILLADELGADO v. EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT IN AND FOR COUNTY OF CLARK (2022)

ORDER DENYING PETITION

Mandamus relief is an extraordinary remedy, and petitioners bear the burden to show that such relief is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). In the instant matter, petitioner has not demonstrated that extraordinary relief is warranted, as the petition is not supported by any relevant documentation and lacks critical information about petitioner's conviction, sentence, as well as the parole board proceeding and determination. NRAP 21(a)(4) (stating that it is the petitioner's obligation to provide an appendix that includes all records that may be essential to understand the matters set forth in the petition).

Most importantly, the petition does not include the parole board determination that petitioner challenges. NRAP 21(a)(4). Without this crucial information, we cannot evaluate the petition.¹ Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
