GERALD THOMAS DEVINE, Petitioner, v. JAMES E. DZRUENDA, DIRECTOR, Respondent.
cc: Gerald Thomas Devine Attorney General/Carson City Carson City Clerk
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus asks this court to direct the respondent to award him 20 days per month of statutory good time credit toward his minimum parole eligibility. We have reviewed the documents submitted in this matter, and without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised therein, we decline to exercise original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.170; Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228-29, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004). A challenge to the computation of time served must be raised in a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the district court in the first instance. NRS 34.724(2)(c); NRS 34.738(1). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
