KEITH WILLIAM SULLIVAN, Petitioner, v. THE SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF WASHOE, Respondent, and PERRY RUSSELL, WARDEN, Real Party in Interest.


UNPUBLISHED OPINION

Hardesty J. Stiglich J.

ORDER DENYING PETITION

Parraguirre C.J.

This original pro se postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenges several actions of the district court regarding the postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus that petitioner filed below on November 10, 2021.

Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that writ relief is warranted, because petitioner has a plain, speedy, and adequate legal remedy available to him by way of an appeal from any district court order denying his petition in the first instance. See NRAP 22 ("An application for an original writ of habeas corpus should be made to the appropriate district court. If an application is made to the district court and denied, the proper remedy is by appeal from the district court's order denying the writ."); see also Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("Petitioned ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted," and writ relief is proper only when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law).Accordingly, we

Given our disposition here, we deny ail of petitioners pending motions and additional requests for relief as moot.

ORDER the petition DENIED.
