ERIC T. DOUGLAS, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE MICHELLE LEAVITT, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, and THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is a petition for a writ of mandamus. Petitioner asserts that the district court erred in denying his motion to return property that was collected when he was placed under arrest. We have reviewed the documents submitted in this matter and we decline to exercise original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRS 34.160. Petitioner did not supply this court with a sufficient record to review his claims and therefore failed to meet his burden to demonstrate that his claims had merit. See NRAP 21(4) (stating that the petitioner must submit an appendix including a copy of the order and parts of the record before the respondent judge "that may be essential to understand the matters set forth in the petition"). We also note that petitioner may have additional civil or statutory remedies with which he may pursue his claim. See NRS 34.170. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
