IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

JOHN ANTHONY WAYNE DEGEN, No. 80462 SR., Petitioner, vs. THE SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT FILED COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF WASHOE, Respondent.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

In this original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus, petitioner seeks a writ directing the district court to act on several motions.

Problematically, petitioner has not provided 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"). Therefore, without deciding the merits of the claims raised, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRAP 21(b).

We reiterate that "Metitioned I cardies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted." Pan v. Eighth

10- 03310 Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004).

Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.'
