                                     ORDER DENYING PETITIONS
                            These are pro se petitions for a writ of mandamus. Petitioner
                seeks an order directing the district court to grant his request to withdraw
                appointed counsel and represent himself in his postconviction proceeding.
                Without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised in the documents
                submitted in this matter, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction.
                See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.170. Accordingly, we
                            ORDER the petitions DENIED.
