TYSON DUMONT CANTY, Petitioner, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
This original pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenges the denial of certain credits toward his sentence.
Petitioner does not allege he previously sought and was denied habeas relief in the district court. See NRAP 22 ("An application for an original writ of habeas corpus should be made to the appropriate district court" in the first instance); see also NRS 34.738(1) (a postconviction habeas petition challenging the computation of time served must be filed with the clerk for the district court in the county where the petitioner is incarcerated); Williams v. Nev., Dep't of Corr., 133 Nev. 594, 596, 402 P.3d 1260, 1262 (2017) (a claim that statutory credits are not being properly applied to an inmate's minimum sentence is a challenge to the computation of time served that is properly raised in a postconviction habeas petition).
Petitioner's failure to provide timely proof of service of the petition constitutes an additional basis upon which to deny relief. NRAP 21(a)(1). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
