ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR EXTRAORDINARY WRIT RELIEF

This original, pro se petition for extraordinary writ relief seeks,
on double jeopardy grounds, dismissal of the criminal charges against
petitioner. In so seeking, petitioner acknowledges that he has not been
convicted of the charged crimes at this point but points to circumstances of
his pretrial detention and house arrest.

Having considered the petition and supporting documentation,
we are not convinced that our extraordinary and discretionary intervention
is warranted. See United States v. Warneke, 199 F.3d 906, 908 (7th Cir.
1999) (“Pretrial detention does not trigger the attachment of ‘jeopardy’ so
as to invoke the protection of the Double Jeopardy Clause. And, the statute
authorizing pretrial detention, 18 U.S.C. § 3142, is remedial, not punitive.”
(internal citations omitted)); Pan v. Highth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev.
222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (observing that the party seeking writ

relief bears the burden of showing such relief is warranted); Smith v. Eighth

22-0660

 

 

 
Judicial Dist. Court, 107 Nev. 674, 677, 818 P.2d 849, 851 (1991)
(recognizing that writ relief is an extraordinary remedy and that this court
has sole discretion in determining whether to entertain a writ petition).

Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
