IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

CHARLES DEAN VIOX, No. 69508 Petitioner, vs. FILED N. L. PORTER; AND C. M. MCGEE, MAR 1 7 2016 Respondents.

ORDER DENYING PETITION This is a pro se petition for a writ of mandamus. Petitioner seeks an order directing that his petition for a writ of habeas corpus be heard in the Second Judicial District Court. We have reviewed the documents submitted in this matter, and without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised therein, we decline to exercise original jurisdiction in this matter as petitioner has not demonstrated that the Second Judicial District Court is the proper court to hear his petition. See NRS 34.160; see also Nev. Const. art. 6, § 6(1). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
