petition was procedurally barred absent a demonstration of good cause
and actual prejudice. See NRS 34.726(1); NRS 34.810(1)(b); NRS
34.810(3).
Appellant claimed that he had good cause because his post-
conviction counsel failed to raise the twelve grounds for relief in the prior
proceedings. Ineffective assistance of post-conviction counsel would not be
good cause in the instant case because the appointment of counsel in the
prior post-conviction proceedings was not statutorily or constitutionally
required. Crump v. Warden, 113 Nev. 293, 303, 934 P.2d 247, 253 (1997);
McKague v. Warden, 112 Nev. 159, 164, 912 P.2d 255, 258 (1996).
Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED. 3

proper person to the clerk of this court in this matter, and we conclude
that no relief based upon those submissions is warranted.
