NORMAN EUGENE COLES, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE VALORIE J. VEGA, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, and THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.
An unpublish id order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus requests this court to compel the district court to grant counsel's motion to withdraw as counsel for petitioner in a criminal action pending in district court based on a breakdown in the attorney-client relationship and petitioner's malpractice lawsuit against counsel. Because it does not appear from the documents before us that the district court has ruled on counsel's motion to withdraw, we decline to intervene by way of extraordinary writ. Accordingly, we deny the petition. See NRAP 21(b).
It is so ORDERED.
