                 Petitioner,
                 vs.
                 NEVADA COURT OF APPEALS; THE
                                                                              FILED
                 HONORABLE MICHAEL P. GIBBONS;                                MAR 1 7 2016
                 THE HONORABLE JEROME T. TAO;
                 AND THE HONORABLE ABBI SILVER,
                 Respondents

                                      ORDER DENYING PETITION
                             This is a pro se petition for a writ of mandamus. Petitioner
                 challenges a decision of the Nevada Court of Appeals in dismissing his
                 appeal for want of jurisdiction. We have reviewed the documents
                 submitted in this matter, and without deciding upon the merits of any
                 claims raised therein, we decline to exercise original jurisdiction in this
                 matter. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.170; see also NRAP 4013(a) ("A decision
                 of the Court of Appeals is a final decision that is not reviewable by the
                 Supreme Court except on petition for review."). Accordingly, we
                             ORDER the petition DENIED.
