MCDONALD v. The State of Nevada; and City of Las Vegas, Real Parties in Interest. (2020)

Supreme Court of Nevada.

Michael Lee MCDONALD, Petitioner, v. The EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT of the State of Nevada, IN AND FOR the COUNTY OF CLARK; and the Honorable Rob Bare, District Judge, Respondents, The State of Nevada; and City of Las Vegas, Real Parties in Interest.

No. 81728

Decided: September 24, 2020

Michael Lee McDonald Attorney General/Carson City Clark County District Attorney

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION

This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition appears to seek an order vacating petitioner's conviction for battery constituting domestic violence on the grounds that he was erroneously deprived of a jury trial.

Problematically, petitioner has not provided this court with exhibits or other documentation that would support his claims for relief. 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”).

We reiterate that “[p]etitioner[ ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted.” Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
