PETER JASON HELFRICH, Petitioner, v. SANDRA L. MERLINO; THE HONORABLE DAVID R. GAMBLE; AND THE FIFTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF NYE, Respondents.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This is a pro se original petition seeking a writ of mandamus directing the respondent district court clerk to provide petitioner with file-stamped copies of his motion for transcripts and directing the district court to grant the motion and provide him with the transcript and/or recording of the October 10, 2016, hearing on the petition to terminate petitioners parental rights. Having considered the petition, we are not convinced that our intervention by extraordinary writ is warranted at this time. Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (recognizing that petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that writ relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (stating that a petition for extraordinary writ relief is purely discretionary with this court). We expect that the district court will resolve petitioner's motion for transcripts as quickly as its docket permits. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
