ORDER DENYING PETITION This original pro se petition for a writ of prohibition seeks an order dismissing the underlying proceedings for lack of jurisdiction. Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that petitioner has met his burden to show that our extraordinary intervention is warranted. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (Petitioners carry the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted."); Srnith v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991) (observing that "the issuance of a writ of mandamus or prohibition is purely discretionary with this coure). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
