JOHNNY LEE JONES, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE VALERIE ADAIR, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents, and THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is a proper person petition for a writ of mandamus. Petitioner seeks an order directing the district court to reverse its decision denying petitioner relief regarding a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. 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. We note that petitioner has already appealed the district court's decision to deny his post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus and that appeal is pending before this court as Docket No. 65191. Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
