UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Steven Christopher Gazlay, Attorney General/Carson City
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This original petition for a writ of mandamus seeks a writ compelling the district court to (1) return property seized via warrant in a I civil asset forfeiture action; and (2) suppress evidence seized from being entered at trial.
Problematically, petitioner has not provided this court with exhibits or other documentation that would support his claims for relief. See NRAP 21(a)(4) (providing the petitioner shall submit an appendix containing all documents "essential to understand the matters set forth in the petition"). Therefore, without deciding the merits of the claims raised. we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter, see NRAP 21(b); Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("Petitioner[ ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted."), and we deny the instant petition without prejudice.
It is so ORDERED.
