IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

BRUCE HARRISON BIRCH, No. 71408 Petitioner, vs. FILE THE HONORABLE ELLIOTT A.

JAN 1 3 2017 SATTLER, DISTRICT JUDGE, ELIZABETH A. BROWN Respondent. CLERK OF SUPREME COURT BY DEPLOY CLERK ORDER DENYING PETITION This petition appears to seek a writ of mandamus directing respondent to take action to ensure that petitioner is allowed to file documents and/or send letters to respondent. Having reviewed the petition, we are not convinced that petitioner has met his burden of demonstrating that our intervention is warranted at this time. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004); see also Round Hill Gen. Imp. Dist. v. Newman, 97 Nev. 601, 637 P.2d 534 (1981). We therefore ORDER the petition DENIED.'
