DAMIAN D'MARC HALL, 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An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority.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 post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Brent T. Adams, Judge.
On appeal from the denial of his March 2, 2012, petition, appellant argues that the trial court erred in denying his request for a second competency evaluation and hearing. This claim was already considered and rejected by this court on direct appeal. Hall v. State, Docket No. 58407 (Order of Affirmance, January 12, 2012). The doctrine of law of the case prevents further litigation of this claim and "cannot be avoided by a more detailed and precisely focused argument." Hall v. State, 91 Nev. 314, 316, 535 P.2d 797, 799 (1975). Therefore, the district court did not err in denying the petition. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
