Jerry SANTISTEVAN, Petitioner, v. The EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT of the State of Nevada, IN AND FOR the COUNTY OF CLARK, Respondent, The State of Nevada, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the district court's denial of petitioner's motions to correct or modify his sentence.

Thus, petitioner failed to meet his burden of demonstrating that writ relief is warranted. Id. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.1
FOOTNOTES
