BRETT DAGAN JONES v. THE STATE OF NEVADA (2024)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI

This is a pro se original petition for a writ of certiorari challenging the district court's order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus.

“A writ of certiorari is an extraordinary remedy and the decision to entertain a petition for a writ of certiorari lies within the discretion of this court.” Zamarripa v. First Jud. Dist. Ct., 103 Nev. 638, 640, 747 P.2d 1386, 1387 (1987). A writ of certiorari may be granted only when a lower court has exceeded its jurisdiction and there is no appeal or any plain, speedy, and adequate remedy. NRS 34.020(2).

Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that our intervention is warranted because petitioner fails to demonstrate that any lower tribunal has exceeded its jurisdiction. NRS 34.020. Further, petitioner has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy by way of an appeal and indeed has previously challenged the district court's order by an appeal in Docket No. 86715-COA. Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
