ANTHONY BROOKS, Petitioner, v. THE SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF WASHOE, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
In this original petition for a writ of mandamus, Anthony Brooks seeks an order directing the district court to file and resolve his motions to dismiss counsel. We directed respondent to file an answer to the petition. Respondent has provided this court with copies of orders filed in district court case nos. CR15-1008 and CR18-0864 that grant Brooks' motions to dismiss counsel. Brooks has also filed an answer in which he asserts respondent continues to interfere with the filing of his documents. In support of this assertion, he states that on October 11, 2019, he attempted to file a civil rights complaint but it was returned to him along with a notice that informed him he had violated a court rule.
Given the record before this court, we conclude Brooks has failed to demonstrate this court's intervention by way of extraordinary writ is warranted. 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, we
We have considered the answer filed by Brooks and conclude he has failed to demonstrate this court's intervention by way of extraordinary writ is not warranted. See id. --------
