JOHN RICHARD WEHR, Petitioner, v. BRIAN WILLIAMS, WARDEN, Respondent.
cc: John Richard Wehr Attorney General/Carson City
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT RELIEF
After exhausting the prison grievance process, petitioner filed this original pro se petition in which he seeks a writ directing respondent to transfer him to a minimum security facility. Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that petitioner has met his burden of demonstrating that our extraordinary intervention is warranted. Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 841, 844 (2004). Despite petitioner's arguments to the contrary, NRS 209.481 does not provide a prisoner with the right to be assigned to a minimum security facility; it only specifies which prisoners may not be assigned to such a facility. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
