BRIAN LANDO, Petitioner, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus seeks an order directing the Nevada Department of Corrections to apply statutory credits to Brian Lando's minimum term of imprisonment. We have considered the petition on file herein, and without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRS 34.160; NRAP 21(b)(1); Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) ("Petitioner[ ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted."). A postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the district court in the county in which the petitioner is incarcerated "[i]s the only remedy available to an incarcerated person to challenge the computation of time that the person has served pursuant to a judgment of conviction." NRS 34.724(2)(c); see also NRS 34.738(1). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
