LONG NGOC TU, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK, Respondent, and THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
In this original petition for a writ of mandamus and supporting documents, Long Ngoc Tu challenges his alleged violation of house arrest. He asserts his house arrest was improperly revoked and he appears to seek an order directing the district court to reinstate his house arrest. We conclude Long Ngoc Tu has failed to demonstrate that this court's intervention by way of extraordinary writ is warranted at this time. See 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."). Specifically, we note that based on the documents filed in this matter, it appears Long Ngoc Tu is represented by counsel in the district court. Long Ngoc Tu should proceed though counsel and raise his claims in the district court in the first instance. Accordingly, without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
