STEVEN SAMUEL BRAUNSTEIN, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE MICHAEL VILLANI, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, and THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.


ORDER DENYING PETITION

This is an original petition for a writ of certiorari seeking an order vacating petitioner's judgment of conviction for two counts of sexual assault of a minor under fourteen years of age. Petitioner asserts the district court lacked jurisdiction to enter the judgment of conviction in 2000 and to enter the amended judgment of conviction in 2010. Petitioner also appears to assert his conviction for two counts constitutes a double jeopardy violation. Because petitioner had a "plain, speedy and adequate remedy" for challenging his judgment of conviction, we decline to consider the petition. NRS 34.020(2). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
