BEAU BROWN v. THE STATE OF NEVADA (2025)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Beau Brown appeals from a district court order denying a petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on September 27, 2024. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; Kristin Luis, Judge.

In his petition, Brown alleged that NRS 176.017, NRS 176.025, and NRS 213.12135 violate “the constitutional right of equal protection” because there is no rational basis to give the benefit of parole eligibility to 17-year-olds but not to those who are 18, 19, or 20 years old.

The district court found Brown failed to explain that “his circumstances qualify him for the sentencing protections or parole eligibility” provided for in those statutes or “how any of the case law cited in his Petition is analogous to his circumstances to warrant similar sentencing protections or parole eligibility for his particular case.” These findings are supported by the record. Therefore, we conclude the district court did not err by denying Brown's petition. Cf. Sereika v. State, 114 Nev. 142, 151, 955 P.2d 175, 180 (1998) (providing that the defendant was unable to challenge the application of a statute on constitutional grounds where he failed to allege facts that the statute had “been applied against him in the manner hypothesized in his argument”). Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
