ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS

Thi:- original pro se petition, which we have construed as a petition for a writ of mandamus, seeks an order directing the district court to reopen and stay petitioner's civil case in A-19-803954-C.,_ Problematically, petitioner has not provided this court with all of the exhibits or documentation that would support her claims for relief. See NRAP 21(1)(1) (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 Ipletitioned ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating i hat extraordinary relief is warranted." Pan v. Eighth
