TALIB LAMAR SPEARS v. THE STATE OF NEVADA (2023)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Talib Lamar Spears appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered pursuant to a guilty plea, of sex trafficking of an adult and battery with a deadly weapon. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Kathleen M. Drakulich, Judge.

Spears argues the district court abused its discretion by denying his pretrial petition for a writ of habeas corpus, which had challenged the sufficiency of the evidence presented during the grand jury proceedings. Errors that arise before entry of a guilty plea are ordinarily waived by entry of the guilty plea, see Webb v. State, 91 Nev. 469, 470, 538 P.2d 164, 165 (1975), and Spears does not argue that he preserved this alleged error as part of his guilty plea, see NRS 174.035(3). Therefore, we conclude Spears’ claim is waived. Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.¹
