ORDER DENYING PETITIONS FOR EXTRAORDINARY WRIT RELIEF AND TO SHOW CAUSE
These are seven original proper person petitions for extraordinary relief. The petitions are not consolidated.
Having considered these petitions, we conclude that petitioner's arguments lack merit and that our intervention by way of extraordinary relief is not warranted. Accordingly, we deny the petitions. NRAP 21(b)(1) ; NRAP 21(c).
In addition, a review of this court's docket reveals that, since 2004, petitioner has filed 108 matters with this court, of which 46 have been proper person appeals or petitions for original writs in civil matters. Twenty-five civil appeals or petitions, including the instant petitions, stem from two district court cases involving the same parties. We previously cautioned petitioner that any further petitions concerning the underlying actions at issue in these seven petitions could result in restrictions on his ability to file papers in forma pauperis. Bacon v. Dist. Ct., Docket Nos. 57411, 57425, 57525, 57526, 57872 (Order Denying Writ Petitions, May 11, 2011).
The following matters before this court all arise from Eighth Judicial District Court Case Nos. A495030 and A541431: Bacon v. Cadish, Docket No. 59991, Bacon v. United Road Services. Inc., Docket No. 59981; Bacon v. Cadish, Docket No. 59699; Bacon v. United Road Services, Docket No. 59286; Bacon v. Quality Towing, Docket No. 59285; Bacon v.

United Road Service, Docket No. 49938 ; Bacon v. Hardcastle, Docket No. 49863 ; Bacon v. Dist. Ct. (Webster), Docket No. 49132 ; Bacon v. Dist. Ct. (Quality Towing), Docket No. 47720.
Our warning was based on petitioner's successive writ petitions that sought relief that had already been denied by this court in previous orders, followed by petitions for rehearing and en banc reconsideration, which were also denied. This court's limited resources are not well spent in reviewing and deciding frivolous petitions and appeals. Also, because petitioner proceeds in forma pauperis without paying filing fees or other costs, monetary sanctions are not available to deter these filings. Thus, it appears that restrictions on petitioner's ability to file original petitions and proper person civil appeals in forma pauperis with this court may be appropriate.
Accordingly, petitioner shall have 30 days from the date of this order to show cause why his ability to file civil proper person original writ petitions and appeals in forma pauperis with this court should not be restricted, consistent with the guidelines announced in Jordan v. State, Department of Motor Vehicles, 121 Nev. 44, 110 P.3d 30 (2005), abrogated on other grounds by Buzz Stew, LLC v. City of North Las Vegas, 124 Nev. 224, 181 P.3d 670 (2008).
Petitioner shall file his response to this court's show cause order in Docket No. 58414.
It is so ORDERED.
