Edward Bernard CLAY, Petitioner, v. Perry RUSSELL, Warden; and Charles Daniels, Director, Respondents.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for extraordinary relief challenges the computation of time Edward Bernard Clay has served. We have considered the petition, and we decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See Salaiscooper v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 117 Nev. 892, 901, 34 P.3d 509, 515 (2001) (“Petitions for extraordinary relief are addressed to the sound discretion of this court.”). 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.” NRS 34.724(2)(c); see NRS 34.738(1)(a). Accordingly, without deciding upon the merits of any claims raised, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
