CAPLES v. STATE (2020)

ORDER DENYING PETITION

In this original petition for a writ of mandamus and/or prohibition, Christian C. Caples seeks an order directing the Nevada Department of Corrections to adjust his parole eligibility date. Having reviewed the petition, we conclude our intervention by way of an extraordinary writ is unwarranted. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.170; NRS 34.320; NRS 34.330; Hickey v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 105 Nev. 729, 731, 782 P.2d 1336, 1337-38 (1989). 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) (emphasis added); see NRS 34.738(1)(a). Therefore, without reaching the merits of the claim raised, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
