ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is a proper person petition for a writ of habeas corpus in which petitioner challenges the validity of his judgment of conviction. 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. A challenge to the validity of the judgment of conviction must be raised in a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the district court in the first instance. NRS 34.724(2)(b) ; NRS 34.738(1). Accordingly, we
We express no opinion as to whether petitioner could meet the procedural requirements of NRS chapter 34.
