No. 8090

February 26, 1975

Appeal from Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Carl J. Christensen, Judge.

Robert List, Attorney General, Carson City; George E. Holt, District Attorney, and Daniel M. Seaton, Chief Deputy, Clark County, for Respondent.


OPINION


In this appeal from an order denying a pretrial petition for habeas corpus, we believe the evidence adduced at the preliminary examination justified the magistrate's determination that there was probable cause to hold appellant for trial. NRS 171.206. See concurring opinion by ZENOFF, J., in Franklin v. State, 89 Nev. 382, 389, 513 P.2d 1252, 1257 (1973).

"[W]e are not now concerned with the prospect that the evidence presently in the record may, by itself, be insufficient to sustain a conviction." McDonald v. Sheriff, 89 Nev. 326, 327, 512 P.2d 774, 775 (1973).

The order denying habeas relief is affirmed.
