ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS
This is an original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus
challenging a district court order denying petitioner's motion to proceed in
forma pauperis.
Having considered the petition and supporting documents, we
are not persuaded that the district court arbitrarily and capriciously
exercised its discretion in denying petitioner's motion for leave to proceed
in forma pauperis so as to warrant writ relief. NRS 34.160; Int'l Game
