CHARLES CLINTON NEWTON, JR., Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus seeks an order declaring Charles Clinton Newton, Jr.'s lifetime supervision agreement of 2014 and 2015 a rogue document. Newton states this document is improper because it contains conditions set forth in NRS 213.1245 for lifetime parole of a sex offender, but he did not have a life sentence and is not on parole.
We have considered the petition, and we are not satisfied this court's intervention by way of extraordinary writ is warranted. See NRS 34.160; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("Petitioner[ ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted."). Specifically, Newton has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law because his challenge to his conditions of lifetime supervision can be raised in a petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the district court. See NRS 34.170. Accordingly, without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
