JOHNSON v. The State of Nevada, Real Party in Interest. (2021)

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

In this original pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus petitioner contends that he did not receive appropriate notice of his parole revocation hearing. Petitioner further argues that following the revocation of his parole, the Nevada Department of Corrections failed to appropriately recalculate and restore his statutory and flat time credits.

Such a writ should be sought in the district court in the first instance, and an adverse ruling below may be challenged by way of an appeal. See NRAP 22 (“An application for an original writ of habeas corpus should be made to the appropriate district court. If an application is made to the district court and denied, the proper remedy is by appeal from the district court's order denying the writ.”).

Accordingly, we

ORDER the petition DENIED.
