SAMMY EARL COLLINS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.


An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

This is an appeal from an order of the district court denying a petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Susan Johnson, Judge.

In his petition filed on January 2, 2015, appellant Sammy Collins challenged his sentencing structure and the district court's imposition of the deadly weapon enhancement. Collins' claims fell outside the scope of a petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition filed in the district court because he is not requesting the district court to order a lower tribunal or office to take action or arrest proceedings. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.320. Further, it appears that Collins has an adequate remedy at law. See NRS 34.170; NRS 34.330. Therefore, we conclude the district court did not err in denying the petition, and we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
