In Docket No. 61462, Coughlin has filed a "Petition for
Dissolution of Temporary Suspension Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule
102(4); and/or alternatively, SCR 111(7) Petition to Show Good Cause for
the Court to Set Aside its Order Temporarily Suspending Attorney From
the Practice of Law," which appears to challenge the merits of the petit
larceny conviction underlying the suspension, as well as the suspension
itself. In Docket No. 62104, Coughlin filed a petition apparently asking
this court to stay the proceedings scheduled for later that day before the
disciplinary board, which was going to consider the referral from this court
entered in Docket No. 60838, as well as other pending grievances against
Coughlin. Coughlin has since filed a motion requesting an extension of
time to pay the filing fee or to request to proceed in forma pauperis, as
well as thousands of pages of other documents appearing to address the
temporary suspension and various bar disciplinary and legal matters with
which he is involved. In Docket No. 63822, Coughlin has filed a "Motion to
Proceed in Forma Pauperis and Declaration in Support Thereof to File
Petition for Writ Allowing Coughlin to File in 60838," which appears to
address various bar disciplinary matters involving Coughlin; Coughlin has
also filed over 1,240 pages of exhibits in that case. Finally, in Docket No.
65587, Coughlin has filed a "Petition for Reinstatement Pursuant to SCR
111(10)," in which he asserts that his petit larceny conviction has been
remanded . . . for a new trial" and makes other arguments in support of
lifting his temporary suspension; Coughlin has also filed two supplements
to this petition. 1
'The second supplement was styled as a request for permission to
file such a document. Because the request and the proposed second
supplement were combined in a single document, it has already been filed.

We have disregarded factual assertions in Coughlin's
documents that are not supported by references to the pertinent record or
that are outside the record, Carson Ready Mix, Inc. v. First Nat'l Bank, 97
Nev. 474, 476, 635 P.2d 276. 277 (1981). In addition, to the extent the
documents attempt to relitigate the petit larceny conviction underlying
Coughlin's suspension, as well as other legal matters in which he is
involved, we note that the instant matters are not the proper forums for
doing so. Additionally, Coughlin has failed to satisfactorily demonstrate
that his conviction has been reversed or to otherwise show good cause for
this court to set aside its order of temporary suspension or to direct the
clerk to allow him to file documents to the same effect in an already-closed
case. Finally, with respect to his request to stay the bar proceeding that
has already occurred, that request is moot. Accordingly, all requests in
these matters are denied.
It is so ORDERED. 2
