ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is a pro se original petition for a writ of certiorari. Petitioner challenges the Nevada Court of Appeals order of affirmance in docket no. 83284-COA, as well as justice court and district court orders relating to petitioner's interest in and eviction from real property.1
“A writ of certiorari is an extraordinary remedy that lies entirely within the discretion of this court.” Garcia v. Sixth Judicial Dist. Court, 117 Nev. 697, 700, 30 P.3d 1110, 1112 (2001). Certiorari is appropriate when a lower court has exceeded its jurisdiction and there is no appeal or other speedy and adequate remedy. NRS 34.020(2); Garcia, 117 Nev. at 700, 30 P.3d at 1112. Having reviewed the petition, we are not persuaded that the extraordinary remedy of certiorari is appropriate here, as petitioner fails to demonstrate that any lower tribunal has exceeded its jurisdiction. NRS 34.020. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
