REED v. Calvin Johnson, Warden, Real Party in Interest. (2020)

Supreme Court of Nevada.

David Levoyd REED, Petitioner, v. The EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT of the State of Nevada, IN AND FOR the COUNTY OF CLARK, Respondent, Calvin Johnson, Warden, Real Party in Interest.

No. 82084

Decided: December 01, 2020

David Levoyd Reed Attorney General/Carson City Clark County District Attorney

ORDER DENYING PETITION

This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus/certiorari challenges the district court's denial of petitioner's petition for a writ of habeas corpus.

Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004) (noting that a writ of mandamus is proper only when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law and “the right to appeal is generally an adequate legal remedy that precludes writ relief.”). Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
