Opinion

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This pro se original postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenges a criminal conviction. An original petition in this court for a writ of habeas corpus is an improper method to challenge the conviction, as such a petition should be made in the district court in the first instance. NRS 34.738; NRAP 22 (“An application for an original writ of habeas corpus should be made to the appropriate district court. If an application is made to the district court and denied, the proper remedy is by appeal from the district courts order denying the writ.”).

Further, appellant has not provided this court with documentation supporting his claim for relief. NRAP 21(a)(4) (providing that a petitioner shall submit an appendix containing all documents “essential to understand the matters set forth in the petition”).

Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
