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.
