BRAUNSTEIN v. NDOC (2020)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

This is an original pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging the district court's refusal to permit petitioner to supplement his habeas petition, to have the opportunity to cure any defects in his petition. Petitioner appears to request that this court resolve his claims for relief.

Petitioner has failed to demonstrate that writ relief is appropriate in this instance because the claims he raises involve issues of fact, and thus petitioner must seek relief in the district court in the first instance. NRAP 22; see Round Hill Gen. Improvement Dist. v. Newman, 97 Nev. 601, 637 P.2d 534 (1981). Moreover, as the court of appeals previously noted, it already granted petitioner relief in Docket No. 79894-COA and directed the Eighth Judicial District Court Clerk to file petitioner's petition in the district court. Braunstein v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court (Warden), Docket No. 80184-COA (Order Denying Petition, March 19, 2020). Accordingly, without reaching the merits of petitioner's claims, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
