BURWELL v. STATE (2019)

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original pro se petition, which we have construed as a petition for a writ of mandamus, seeks the following relief: (1) an order expunging all court records; (2) an order returning all seized and impounded property; (3) an order removing his “common-law trademark and copyright “ALL CAPS” name from any internet search engines and websites; and (4) an order removing any negative written opinions, statements and reports about petitioner and his co-defendant.

Burwell has not provided this court with exhibits or other documentation that would support his claims for relief, which are largely incoherent. See NRAP 21(a)(4) (providing the petitioner shall submit an appendix containing all documents “essential to understand the matters set forth in the petition”).

Therefore, without deciding on the merits of the claims raised, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter, see NRS 34.160; NRAP 21(b); Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (“Petitioner[ ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted.”).

Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED ¹

FOOTNOTES

1.   We also deny, without reaching the merits, petitioner's pro se motion for dismissal as those claims are currently before this court in Docket No. 78890 and petitioner failed to provide adequate documentation to support the motion in the instant case.
