LEANDREW LARONN MENEFEE, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK, Respondent, and THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.
cc: Leandrew Laronn Menefee Attorney General/Carson City Clark County District Attorney Eighth District Court Clerk
ORDER DENYING PETITION
In this original petition for a writ of mandamus and/or prohibition, Leandrew Laronn Menefee asserts he is entitled to an additional 67 days of presentence credit for time he was incarcerated while in Oregon pursuant to an interstate compact. We have considered the petition, and without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.320; 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 claim regarding presentence credit is a challenge to the validity of the judgment of conviction and sentence that must be raised on appeal from the judgment of conviction or in a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus in compliance with the procedural requirements set forth in NRS chapter 34. See Griffin v. State, 122 Nev. 737, 744, 137 P.3d 1165, 1169 (2006). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
