JESUS SANCHEZ, Petitioner, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; AND ADAM P. LAXALT, Respondents.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus and/or prohibition challenges the computation of time Jesus Sanchez has served. We have considered the petition, and without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised, we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.320; 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 NRS 34.738(1). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
