SHIRRON GAYLES-ZANDERS, No. 80935 Petitioner, vs. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE APR 1 5 2020 DOUGLAS W. HERNDON, DISTRICT EL •_3 ETH !;. BROWN CL PRJEME • RT JUDGE, BY 'AL Li Respondents, 74F"Wi DE ` UTY CLERK

and THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

In this original pro se petition, petitioner appears to challenge Eighth Judicial District Court Judge Herndon's refusal to recuse himself and actions by her prior and current counsel. Problematically, petitioner has not provided this court with all of the exhibits or documentation that would support her 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]etitioned jj cardies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted." Pan v. Eighth

- L.4-'6Ztp Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.'

'Petitioner's failure to provide timely proof of service of the petition also constitutes an additional basis upon which to deny relief. NRAP 21(a)(1). SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA
