MOHAMED ABDALLA MAHMOUD v. BRIAN WILLIAMS WARDEN (2023)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the seizure of petitioner's legal documents by the Nevada Department of Corrections.

Problematically, while petitioner references exhibits in his petition, no exhibits were attached to the petition. As a result, petitioner failed to provide this court with any exhibits or documents in support of his petition and necessary for this court's consideration of the petition. See NRAP 21(a)(4) (providing that petitioner shall submit an appendix containing all documents “essential to understand[ing] the matters set forth in the petition”). Petitioner bears the burden of showing that extraordinary relief is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). We conclude that petitioner failed to demonstrate our intervention by extraordinary writ is warranted.

Therefore, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRAP 21(b). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
