Johnny BROCK, Petitioner, v. Charles DANIELS, NDOC Director, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
In this original petition for a writ of mandamus, Johnny Brock seeks an order directing the Nevada Department of Corrections to correctly calculate his mandatory parole release date.
Brock's argument is a challenge to the computation of time served, which must be raised in a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus that is filed in the district court in the first instance. See NRS 34.724(2)(c); NRS 34.738(1). Because Brock has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law, we conclude this court's intervention by way of an extraordinary writ is not warranted. See NRS 34.170. Accordingly, without deciding the merits of the claim raised, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
