HERICH v. The State of Nevada; and Nye County Sheriff's Office, Sharon Wehrly, Real Parties in Interest. (2019)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

This is an original pro se postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus in which petitioner alleges ineffective assistance of trial counsel and makes arguments relating to the merits of his criminal conviction.

A challenge to a judgment of conviction must be raised in a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the district court in the first instance. See NRS 34.724; NRS 34.738; NRAP 22. Therefore, without deciding the merits of the claims raised herein, we determine that our intervention is not warranted, see NRAP 21(b); Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 228, 88 P.3d 840, 844 (2004) (“Petitioner[ ] carr[ies] the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted.”). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
