JESSE NOBLE JESSE NOBEL JR v. THE STATE OF NEVADA (2024)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Jesse D. Noble appeals from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on November 18, 2019,¹ and a supplemental petition filed on August 11, 2020. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Mary Kay Holthus, Judge.

Noble argues the district court erred by denying his petition, because insufficient evidence supports his conviction. This claim was not raised below, and we decline to consider it on appeal in the first instance. See McNelton v. State, 115 Nev. 396, 416, 990 P.2d 1263, 1276 (1999). Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
