JOHNNIE LEE PARHAM, Petitioner, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA; AND ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondents.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority.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 proper person petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner challenges the judgment of conviction. 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. Challenges to the judgment of conviction must be raised in a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus and filed in the district court in the first instance. See NRS 34.724(2)(b); NRS 34.738U). Accordingly, we
We express no opinion as to whether petitioner could meet the procedural requirements of NRS chapter 34.
ORDER the petition DENIED.
