Donald Ray Lamont WANNER, Sr., Petitioner, v. Pershing County District Attorney R. BRYCE SHIELDS; Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford; State of Nevada Department of Corrections Charles Daniels; and State of Nevada Parole and Probation, Respondents.
ORDER DENYING PETITIONS
This pro se original petition for a postconviction writ of habeas corpus and pro se amended original petition for a postconviction writ of habeas corpus challenge petitioner's conviction, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel. Having considered the petition and amended petition, we are not persuaded that writ relief is warranted because petitioner has a plain, speedy, and adequate remedy available to him by way of an appeal from the district court's denial of such relief in the first instance. 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.”); see also Pan v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840, 841 (2004) (writ relief is proper only when there is no plain, speedy, and adequate remedy at law and the petitioner bears the burden of demonstrating that writ relief is warranted). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition and amended petition DENIED.
