JOHN FRANCIS ARPINO, Petitioner, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA; RICHARD A. GAMMICK; SCOTT W. EDWARDS; AND ROBERT C. BELL, Respondents.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is a proper person petition for a writ of prohibition. Petitioner argues that the District Attorney has not paid his bond pursuant to NRS 252.030. Petitioner seeks an order directing the District Attorney Office's to cease and desist acting on behalf of the State of Nevada, reversal of his criminal conviction, and payment of damages. Without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised in the documents submitted in this matter, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction. See NRS 34.320; NRS 34.330; NRS 34.020.
The petition contains a claim that is submitted for the purpose of harassing his opponent, see NRS 209.451(d)(1), and contains allegations of fact for which no evidentiary proof is provided or is likely to be available after further investigation, see NRS 209.451(d)(3). We caution petitioner that he may be referred for the forfeiture of credits for the filing of a frivolous petition. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
