WILLIE TERRY CARTER, Petitioner, v. BRIAN WILLIAMS, WARDEN, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenges the computation of time served. Petitioner asserts the Nevada Department of Corrections is not deducting statutory credits earned pursuant to NRS 209.4465 from his minimum sentences. We have considered the petition, and without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("Petitioner[ ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted."). A postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the district court for the county in which the petitioner is incarcerated "[i]s the only remedy available to an incarcerated person to challenge the computation of time that the person has served pursuant to a judgment of conviction." NRS 34.724(2)(c); see NRS 34.738(1). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
