Opinion

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This is an original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus seeking the restoration of credits lost due to prison disciplinary proceedings. Problematically, petitioner has not submitted an actual petition, but instead has only provided this court with various documents apparently intending to support any such unstated claim.

Having considered the 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). Thus, 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.
