BRIAN KERRY O'KEEFE, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.


UNPUBLISHED OPINION

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Gibbons, C.J.

Brian Kerry O'Keefe appeals from an order of the district court denying a petition for a writ of coram vobis filed on March 28, 2023. Eighth Judicial District. Court, Clark County; Mary Kay Holthus, Judge.

O'Keefe contends the district court erred by construing his petition as a petition for a writ for coram nobis. Coram vobis is a counterpart to coram nobis and became more widely known as coram nobis in the United States. See Trujillo v. State, 129 Nev. 706. 710-11 & n.3, 310 P.3d 594, 597 & n.3 (2013). Thus, the district court properly treated O'Keefe's petition as a petition for a writ of coram nobis. Therefore, we conclude O'Keefe is not entitled to relief based on this claim, and we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.

insofar as O'Keefe raised any other arguments that are not specifically addressed in this order, we have considered the same and conclude that they either do not present a basis for relief or need not be reached given the disposition of this appeal.

Mary Kay Holthus, District Judge
