ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION

This emergency, original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenges the Nevada Department of Corrections’ calculation of time served and credits earned.

Petitioner failed to include with his petition necessary documentation supporting his request for relief. NRAP 21(a)(4) (petitioner must provide all documents essential to understand the matters set forth in the petition). Further, a challenge to the computation of time served 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 are unable to further consider this petition, and we

ORDER the petition DENIED.

The filing fee was waived upon the docketing of this petition. NRAP 21(g). Accordingly, the motion to waive filing fees is denied as moot.
