DEVIN SHADEL, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE MICHAEL VILLANI, 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An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority.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 original petition for a writ of mandamus asks this court to order the district court to grant petitioner Devin Shadel's petition for a writ of mandamus, in which he sought an order directing the justice court to vacate his conviction and sentence and to hold a hearing to determine whether he violated a provision of his deferred sentencing. We are not convinced that our intervention is warranted for two reasons. First, Shadel has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy in the ordinary course of law by way of an appeal from the district court's denial of his petition for a writ of mandamus. See NRS 34.170; see also NRS 2.090(2), NRAP 3A(b)(1). Second, Shadel has not provided an appendix that includes documents "that may be essential to understand the matter set forth in the petition." NRAP 21(a)(4); see also Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 229, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("If essential information is left out of the petition and accompanying documentation, we have no way of properly evaluating the petition."). For these reasons, we
Specifically, Shadel fails to provide this court with a transcript or order from the justice court, in which the provisions of Shadel's deferred sentencing were imposed. --------
