ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a proper person appeal from an order of the district court denying a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michael Villani, Judge.
Appellant filed his petition on September 2, 2010, and the district court denied the petition in a written order filed on December 27, 2010. The district court's order denying this petition was already considered and affirmed in Braunstein v. State, Docket No. 57332 (Order of Affirmance, June 8, 2011). Because appellant already appealed the denial of the September 2, 2010, petition and he failed to designate another appealable order, NRAP 3(c), we
We note that Chief Justice Douglas presided over the initial arraignment. Given Chief Justice Douglas' minimal involvement with this case in the district court, appellant did not demonstrate that Chief Justice Douglas should recuse himself from consideration of this matter.
We have reviewed all documents that appellant has submitted in proper person to the clerk of this court in this matter, and we conclude that no relief based upon those submissions is warranted. To the extent that appellant has attempted to present claims or facts in those submissions which were not previously presented in the proceedings below, we have declined to consider them in the first instance.
