Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

JERRY SANTISTEVAN, No. 82808 Petitioner, VS. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF FILED CLARK, Respondent, MAY 1 2 2021 and ELIZAB MOWN CL OF PREME COURT THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest. DEiPU Y CLERK

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus challenges the district court's denial of petitioner's motions to correct or modify his sentence.

Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that writ relief is warranted because an appeal from the district court's denial of such relief in the first instance is a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy. Pan v. Eighth judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004).

t -1683 Thus, petitioner failed to meet his burden of demonstrating that writ relief is warranted. Id. Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.1
