Dunn (Robert) Vs. Dist. Ct. (State)

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

ROBERT DIXON DUNN, No. 79625 Petitioner, vs.

THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA,

IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF FILED CLARK,

OCT 11 2C,9 Respondent, and CL PREME: COVRT THE STATE OF NEVADA, BY DEPUTY CLEFV, Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This is an original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus in which petitioner seeks an order directing the district court to dismiss attorney Scott L. Coffee and the public defender's office as attorney of record.

Problematically, petitioner failed to provide this court with exhibits or other documentation that would support his claims for relief. See NRAP 21(a)(4) (providing the petitioner shall submit an appendix containing all documents "essential to understand the matters set forth in the petition"). Specifically, petitioner failed to provide this court with a copy of the district court order denying petitioner's motion to dismiss counsel. This court normally will not consider a petition for extraordinary relief in the absence of such written order. See Rust v. Clark Cty. Sch. Dist., 103 Nev. 686, 689, 747 P.2d 1380, 1382 (1987) (noting that an oral SUPREME Com

OF

NEVADA /q. (0) I947A pronouncement is ineffective in the absence of a written order). Therefore, without deciding the merits of the claims raised, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter, see NRAP 21(b), Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("Petitioner[ ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted."). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
