Opinion
IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
CRAIG ALLEN RODGERS, No. 84718 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF FILED CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE JUN 1 7 2022 SUSAN JOHNSON, DISTRICT JUDGE, ELIZABETH A. BROWN Respondents, CLEZ UPREME COURT and BY THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION This is an original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to direct the district court to compel petitioner's former counsel and the district attorney's office to produce and transmit his entire case file.
This court has original jurisdiction to issue writs of mandamus, and the issuance of such extraordinary relief is within this court's sole discretion. See Nev. Const. art. 6, § 4; D.R. Horton, Inc. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 123 Nev. 468, 474-75, 168 P.3d 731, 736-37 (2007). Petitioner bears the burden to show that extraordinary relief is warranted, and such relief is proper only when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 841, 844 (2004).
Although petitioner references rulings by the district court, he has not provided this court with either copies of his motions filed below, district court orders granting his motions, or any of the documents necessary for this court's consideration of the petition. See NRAP 21(a)(4) SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA 40) 1.447A aftalica (providing that petitioner shall submit an appendix containing all documents "essential to understand[ing] the matters set forth in the petition"). Therefore, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRAP 21(b). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
