ABDUL HOWARD, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK, Respondent, and THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus seeks an order directing the district court to conduct a hearing and order district court case number C-13-290115-1 to be removed from Abdul Howard's pending case number. Howard states case C-13-290115-1 was dismissed and consolidated with another one of his cases. He asserts case number C-13-290115-1 should no longer exist after the consolidation and the failure to remove this case number from his pending case could result in a double jeopardy violation.
We have considered the petition, and we are not satisfied this court's intervention by way of extraordinary writ is warranted at this time. See NRS 34.160; 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."). Accordingly, without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
