BRIAN KERRY KEEFE v. THE STATE OF NEVADA (2023)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Brian Kerry O'Keefe appeals from an order of the district court denying a petition for a writ of coram vobis filed on March 28, 2023. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Mary Kay Holthus, Judge.

O'Keefe contends the district court erred by construing his petition as a petition for a writ for coram nobis. Coram vobis is a counterpart to coram nobis and became more widely known as coram nobis in the United States. See Trujillo v. State, 129 Nev. 706, 710-11 & n.3, 310 P.3d 594, 597 & n.3 (2013). Thus, the district court properly treated O'Keefe’s petition as a petition for a writ of coram nobis. Therefore, we conclude O'Keefe is not entitled to relief based on this claim, and we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.¹
