Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

LEONARD MORGAN HAIRSTON, No. 80588 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF FILED CLARK, .„....,4, Respondent, FEB 2 7 20" and IE COURT THE STATE OF NEVADA, DEPUTY CLEM Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF PROHIBITION

This original pro se petition seeks a writ of prohibition commanding the district court to vacate petitioner's judgment of conviction and refrain from taking any further action because the district court entered his judgment of conviction when it lacked jurisdiction.

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).

410-0-11H I We reiterate that "[p]etitioned cardies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted." Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004).

Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
