ORDER DENYING .PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS This original petition for a writ of mandamus seeks a writ compelling the district court to (1) return property seized via warrant in a civil asset forfeiture action; and (2) suppress evidence seized from being entered at trial.

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); Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("PetitionerH cardies] the burden of demonstrating that SUPREME COURT Of NEVADA (01 1947,4 watt. „.1 -2,ate8A extraordinary relief is warranted. ), and we deny the instant petition without prejudice.
