An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is a pro se petition for a writ of mandamus. Petitioner seeks an order directing the holding of a parole hearing. 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. See NRS 34.170. To the extent petitioner is challenging the computation of his sentence for purposes of parole eligibility, his claim must be raised in a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the district court in the first instance. NRS 34.724(2)(c); NRS 34.738(1). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
