DAVID LEE TURNER, Petitioner, v. CONNIE S. BISBEE, CHAIRMAN; SUSAN JACKSON, COMMISSIONER; CHRISTOPHER DERICCO, COMMISSIONER; ADAM ENDEL, COMMISSIONER; AND THE STATE OF NEVADA BOARD OF PAROLE, Respondents.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the Board of Parole Commissioners' denial of parole for David Lee Turner. Turner asserts the Board improperly applied NAC 213.518(2)(k) when it considered him for parole in 2017 and, therefore, a new parole hearing is warranted. Turner informs this court he has administratively appealed the denial of his parole, but he has not received any response from the Board. Given this circumstance, we decline to exercise our discretion to entertain this petition. See NRAP 21(b)(1); 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."); Poulos v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 98 Nev. 453, 455, 652 P.2d 1177, 1178 (1982); see also State ex rel. Dep't of Transp. v. Thompson, 99 Nev. 358, 360, 662 P.2d 1338, 1339 (1983). Accordingly, without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
