GOODNER v. The State of Nevada, Real Party in Interest. (2022)

Court of Appeals of Nevada.

Matthew Dean GOODNER, a/k/a Jason Hilliard, Petitioner, v. The EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT of the State of Nevada, IN AND FOR the COUNTY OF CLARK, Respondent, The State of Nevada, Real Party in Interest.

No. 85256-COA

Decided: September 29, 2022

Matthew Dean Goodner Attorney General/Carson City Clark County District Attorney

ORDER DENYING PETITION

In this original petition for a writ of mandamus, Matthew Dean Goodner claims his sentence is illegal, and he seeks an order directing the district court to correct his judgment of conviction. We have considered Goodner's pleadings, and we are not satisfied this court's intervention by way of extraordinary writ is warranted because Goodner had a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law that precludes writ relief: He could have raised the issue in a direct appeal. See Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 841, 844 (2004) (stating that an appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy precluding writ relief and recognizing that petitioners bear the burden of demonstrating that writ relief is warranted). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
