Marcel McKNIGHT, Petitioner, v. NEVADA BOARD OF PAROLE COMMISSIONERS, Respondent.

Attorney General/Carson City

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This is a proper person petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner challenges the revocation of his parole. We have reviewed the documents submitted in this matter, and without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised therein, we decline to exercise original jurisdiction in this matter. As petitioner's claims appear to require discovery and further development, they are more appropriately raised in a petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the district court in the first instance. See NRS 34.360 ; NRS 34.575 (recognizing the right to appeal from a decision of the district court denying a petition for a writ of habeas corpus). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
