ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is a proper person petition for a writ of mandamus. Petitioner appears to challenge the district court's disposition of certain motions and petitions as well as the underlying validity of his judgment of conviction and sentence. We have reviewed all of the documents submitted in this matter, and without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised therein, we decline to exercise original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRS 34.160 ; NRS 34.170. To the extent petitioner challenges the validity of the judgment of conviction, such a challenge must be raised in a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the district court in the first instance. NRS 34.724(2)(b) ; NRS 34 .738(1). Accordingly, we
We express no opinion as to whether petitioner could meet the procedural requirements of NRS chapter 34.
ORDER the petition DENIED.
