LASHAWN LAMONT TURNER, Petitioner, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent,
UNPUBLISHED OPINION
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is an original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus challenging petitioner's judgment of conviction and sentence.
Petitioner bears the burden of showing that extraordinary relief is warranted. See Pan u. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition). Petitioner has not provided this court with any exhibits or documents in support of his 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").
We conclude that petitioner has failed to demonstrate our intervention by extraordinary writ is warranted. Therefore, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRAP 21(b). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
