Baron Montero JONES, Petitioner, v. CLARK COUNTY SHERIFF, Respondent.
Attorney General/Carson City Clark County District Court
Attorney General/Carson City
Clark County District Court
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is an original pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging the jurisdiction of the justice court.
Petitioner does not allege that he previously sought and was denied habeas relief in the district court. See NRAP 22 ("An application for an original writ of habeas corpus should be made to the appropriate district court" in the first instance.). Moreover, although petitioner provided a brief affidavit in support of his allegations, he has not provided this court with any exhibits or documents in support of his claims and necessary for this court's consideration of the petition. See NRAP 21(a)(4) (providing that petitioner shall submit an appendix containing all documents "essential to understand[ing] the matters set forth in the petition").
Petitioner bears the burden of showing that extraordinary relief is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). We conclude that petitioner has failed to demonstrate our intervention by extraordinary writ is warranted. Further, to the extent that petitioner has counsel, he must proceed by and through counsel of record. Therefore, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRAP 21(b).
Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
