RANDY D. JONES, Petitioner, v. NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY DIVISION OF PAROLE AND PROBATION; AND LUCY RICO, Respondents.
cc: Randy D. Jones Attorney General/Carson City Eighth District Court Clerk
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is a pro se petition for a writ of prohibition. Petitioner Randy D. Jones challenges the Department of Parole and Probation's denial of his parole release plan based on an alleged problem with residency. Without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised in the documents submitted in this matter, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction. See NRS 34.320; NRS 34.330. Because the petition involves issues of fact, See Round Hill Gen. Improvement Dist. v. Newman, 97 Nev. 601, 637 P.2d 534 (1981), Jones should file his petition in the district court in the first instance. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
