Christopher Ormon SMITH, Petitioner, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF PROHIBITION
This pro se original petition for a writ of prohibition challenges the court of appeals’ affirmance of the district court's denial of petitioner's motion to correct an illegal sentence. Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that writ relief is warranted because petitioner had a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy available to him by way of his appeal in Docket No. 87100-COA. See NRS 34.330; Pan v. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004) (writ relief is proper only when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
