Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

GERALD JEROME POLK, No. 80621 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF F.

CLARK, 1,4AR 1 1 Respondent, ELI CLERK SREit;i1i. COURT and BY THE STATE OF NEVADA, DEPUTY Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION

In this original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition, petitioner appears to seek an order directing the district court to act on a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus he allegedly filed on June 5, 2019.

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 Ipletitioned cardiesj the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted." Pan v. Eighth SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA

(0) 1947A 410.

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

Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.'
