State, 106 Nev. 349, 352, 792 P.2d 1133, 1135 (1990); see also Griffin v. State, 122 Nev. 737, 746, 137 P.3d 1165, 1170-71 (2006) (holding “a claim for presentence credit is a challenge to the validity of the judgment of conviction and sentence” and “may be raised on direct appeal or in a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus in compliance with the procedural requirements of NRS chapter 34”).1 Accordingly, we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
