ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus seeks a writ
directing the district court to file his “petition for a court order’.

A writ of mandamus is available to compel the performance of
an act that the law requires as a duty resulting from an office, trust, or
station or to control an arbitrary or capricious exercise of discretion. See
NRS 34.160; Intl Game Tech., Inc. v. Second Judicial Dist. Court, 124 Nev.
193, 197, 179 P.3d 556, 558 (2008). Whether a petition for extraordinary
writ relief will be entertained rests within this court’s sound discretion.
D.H. Horton, Inc. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 123 Nev. 468, 474-75, 168
P.3d 731, 736-37 (2007). Petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that
extraordinary relief is warranted. Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120
Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). Further, it is petitioner’s
responsibility to provide this court with all documents essential to
understand the matters set forth in the petition. NRAP 21(a)(4).

Problematically, petitioner has not provided this court with
exhibits or other documentation that would support his claims for relief.
