IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

ANTHONY MICHAEL MELENDREZ, No. 79645 Petitioner, vs. THE FIRST JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CARSON CITY, Respondent, and Vt.] CLE

THE STATE OF NEVADA, BY

Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus seeks a writ compelling the district court to act on the petition for a writ of habeas corpus that petitioner claims he filed in that court, which petitioner asserts has been dormant since last year. 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); Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88
