An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority.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 pro se original petition for a writ of mandamus. Petitioner asks this court to direct the district court to reverse and vacate an order that petitioner claims denies him access to the courts. Petitioner failed to submit an appendix containing documents that are essential to understand the matters set forth in the petition, including a copy of the order purportedly restricting his access to the courts.

Therefore, 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 34.160; NRS 34.170. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
