ORDER DISMISSING PETITION
This is an original post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging a judgment of conviction and sentence. Such a petition must comply with the provisions of NRS 34.720 to 34.830, see NRS 34.720, and must be filed “with the clerk of the district court for the county in which the conviction occurred,” NRS 34.738(1). “If an application is made to the district court and denied, the proper remedy is by appeal to [this court] from the district court's order denying the writ.” NRAP 22 ; see also NRS 34.575(1). Because the petition must be filed in the appropriate district court in the first instance, we decline to consider the merits of the petition and we
ORDER the petition DISMISSED.
