                Respondents.

                                      ORDER DENYING PETITION
                            This is a pro se petition for a writ of prohibition. Petitioner
                seeks an order prohibiting the district court from consolidating his lower
                court cases and an order prohibiting the district court from conducting a
                vexatious-litigant hearing outside his presence. We have reviewed the
                documents submitted in this matter, and without deciding upon the merits
                of any underlying claims raised therein, we decline to exercise original
                jurisdiction in this matter.'   See NRS 34.320; NRS 34.330. There is
                nothing in the documents before this court indicating that the district
                court will conduct a vexatious-litigant hearing in absentia and petitioner
                has not demonstrated that the district court abused its discretion in
                consolidating his lower court cases. Accordingly, we
                            ORDER the petition DENIED.
