CHARLES D. SEGROVES, Petitioner, v. NEVADA BOARD OF PAROLE COMMISSIONERS, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
In this original petition for a writ of mandamus, Charles D. Segroves seeks clarification of whether the denial of parole based on the application of inapplicable factors, misplaced recommendations, and the misreading of Segroves' presentence investigation report constitutes a denial of due process and infringement of his right to receive proper consideration for parole. Segroves asks this court to answer this question and order the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners (Board) to comply with this court's answer when conducting parole proceedings.
We conclude this court's intervention by way of extraordinary writ is not warranted at this time. Because Segroves' assertions that the Board improperly denied him parole involve issues of fact, he should seek relief in the district court in the first instance. See Round Hill Gen. Improvement Dist. v. Newman, 97 Nev. 601, 604, 637 P.2d 534, 536 (1981). Accordingly, without reaching the merit of the claim raised, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
