IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

JAMES HOWARD HAYES, JR., No. 82202 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT FILED COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF DEC 2 4 2020 CLARK, ELIZA/3 A. BROWN Respondent, CLERK OF S PREME COURT BY and DEPU CLERK

THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION

This original, pro se petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition seeks to compel the district court to resolve petitioner's pending amended petition for a writ of habeas corpus and motion to vacate sentence. Having considered the petition and supporting documents, we are not persuaded that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention is warranted at this time. Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004); Smith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 679, 818 P.2d 849, 851, 853 (1991). We anticipate that the district court will rule on these filings as promptly as its docket and the current pandemic-related circumstances allow. Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
