Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

JACK JOSEPH BATTLE, JR., No. 80655 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF FILED CLARK, MAR 0 5 2020 Respondent, and THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus seeks a writ directing the district court to reverse and vacate petitioner's sentence or reverse its denial of petitioner's naotion to correct or clarify his sentence and his presentence investigation report. Problematically, petitioner has not provided this court with exhibits or other documentation that would support his claims for relief. 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). We reiterate that "[p]etitioner[ 1 carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted." Pan v. Eighth
