To the extent that appellant is attempting to file an original petition for a writ of habeas corpus in this court, "[a]n application for an original writ of habeas corpus should be made to the appropriate district court." See NRAP 22. Accordingly, this court
The documents before this court do not indicate that a pretrial petition for a writ of habeas corpus has been filed or denied in district court.
