Acosta v. Reeves
Opinion
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
JUAN ACOSTA, No. 70351 Petitioner, vs. JANELLE REEVES; KELLY REEVES; H.M. JON NORHEIM; CLARK COUNTY FILED FAMILY COURT; LLOYD D. GEORGE; JUL 1 3 2016 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT; TRACIE K. LINDEMAN DOMINIQUE MCELROY; AND CLERK.,9PF SUPREME COURT DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY SERVICES, BY DEPUTY CLERK Respondents.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR EXTRAORDINARY WRIT RELIEF This is a pro se original petition for extraordinary writ relief challenging a guardianship created for the minor children and requesting that the children be returned to petitioner's custody.
Having reviewed the petition and the attached documentation, we conclude that petitioner has not demonstrated that our intervention by extraordinary writ relief is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist.
Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228-29, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (explaining that it is petitioner's burden to demonstrate that writ relief is warranted). NRAP 21(a)(4) requires the petitioner to submit with the petition an appendix that contains copies of any order or other parts of the record that may be essential to understanding the matters contained in the petition. Here, petitioner indicates that he filed a petition to terminate the guardianship and the court master recommended that the petition be denied at a hearing held on April 19, 2016, but petitioner has not provided this court with a copy of his petition to terminate the guardianship, the master's recommendation, or a district court order approving the master's recommendation, and thus, we are unable to adequately evaluate SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA
(0) 1947A cajo lb-21%90 petitioner's claims. See EDCR 1.46(g)(9) ("No recommendation of a master or disposition of a juvenile case will become effective until expressly approved by the supervising district court judge."). Accordingly, we conclude that petitioner has not demonstrated that this court's intervention by extraordinary writ relief is warranted at this time, and we deny the petition. See NRAP 21(b)(1); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist.
Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (stating that a petition for extraordinary writ relief is purely discretionary with this court).
It is so ORDERED.
