We have considered the petition, and we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.170; NRS 34.320; NRS 34.330; NRAP 21(b)(1); Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (“Petitioner[ ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted.”). A postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the district court in the county in which the petitioner is incarcerated “[i]s the only remedy available to an incarcerated person to challenge the computation of time that the person has served pursuant to a judgment of conviction, after all available administrative remedies have been exhausted.” NRS 34.724(2)(c); see NRS 34.738(1)(a). Accordingly, without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised, we
