PETER JASON HELFRICH, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND STEVEN GRIERSON, CLERK OF THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, Respondents.

cc: Peter Jason Helfrich Attorney General/Carson City Clark County District Attorney Eighth District Court Clerk


ORDER DISMISSING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus challenging the district court clerk's alleged failure to file petitioner's application to proceed in forma pauperis.

On January 30, 2018, this court entered an order directing petitioner to serve his petition for writ of mandamus on respondents and file proof of service within twenty days, and advising petitioner that a failure to serve his petition as directed would result in dismissal. As more than twenty days have elapsed and petitioner has failed to provide the required proof of service, we dismiss the petition for writ of mandamus. See NRAP 21(a)(1) (requiring proof of service to be filed with a writ petition); NRAP 25(d)(3) (stating that the court will not take any action on any filings until proof of service is filed).

Petitioner filed an "Affidavit in Support of Objection to Order Directing 'So Called' Proper Service" on February 15, 2018, which appears to assert that he is not required to comply with this court's order and that he instructed the clerk of the court to electronically file his petition and thereby electronically serve the same pursuant to Nevada's Electronic Filing and Conversion Rules. We have reviewed the arguments contained in this document and conclude they are without merit and do not excuse petitioner from complying with this court's order entered January 30, 2018. --------

It is so ORDERED.
