ORDER DENYING MANDAMUS AND/OR PROHIBITION PETITION
This is an original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus and/or prohibition asking this court to compel the Parole Board to reconsider its decision to deny petitioner parole.
Petitioner was convicted in 2017 of conspiracy to commit a violent crime and three counts of robbery with the use of a deadly weapon, and is currently serving an aggregate prison term of 8-25 years. In his petition, petitioner claims that he is entitled to a reconsideration of the Parole Boards decision to deny parole because the denial was based in part on an allegedly inapplicable aggravating factor: “Nature of criminal record is increasingly more serious.”
Having considered the petition and documents submitted by petitioner, we are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted. Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (observing that the party seeking writ relief bears the burden of showing that such relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition). As petitioner has failed to demonstrate that our intervention by extraordinary writ is warranted, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRAP 21(b). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
