WILLIAMS MILEY v. STATE (2021)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Williams-Miley filed her petition over one year after entry of the judgment of conviction on June 17, 2019.¹ Thus, Williams-Miley's petition was untimely filed. See NRS 34.726(1). Williams-Miley's petition was procedurally barred absent a demonstration of good cause—cause for the delay and undue prejudice. See id. Williams-Miley's bare petition did not allege good cause.² Therefore, we conclude the district court did not err by denying Williams-Miley's petition, and we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.

FOOTNOTES

1.   Williams-Miley did not file a direct appeal.

2.   For the first time on appeal, Williams-Miley claims that the COVID-19-pandemic-imposed lockdowns prevented her from filing a timely petition. We decline to consider this argument as it was not raised in the district court in the first instance. See McNelton v. State, 115 Nev. 396, 416, 990 P.2d 1263, 1276 (1999).
