EVERETT HUNTER, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.


ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Everett Hunter appeals from a district court order denying postconviction petitions for a writ of habeas corpus filed on May 29, 2018, and October 17, 2018. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Kathleen M. Drakulich, Judge.

Hunter's petitions are incomprehensible. He appears to have claimed that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over him because the United States of America is now an English corporation, he falls under the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and actions taken by the Vatican and various financial institutions have rendered him an artificial or fictitious person.

The district court found that Hunter failed to make any specific factual assertions that would entitle him to relief and summarily denied his petitions. We conclude the district court's factual finding is supported by the record on appeal and the district court did not err by summarily denying Hunter's petitions. See Hargrove v. State, 100 Nev. 498, 502, 686 P.2d 222, 225 (1984) (a petitioner is not entitled to postconviction relief if his claims are bare and lack specific factual allegations). Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
