IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA
CARL DEAN EDWARDS, No. 69746
Petitioner,
vs.
THE STATE OF NEVADA, FILED
Respondent. MAR 17 2016
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is a pro se petition for extraordinary relief. Petitioner
challenges the validity of his judgment of conviction and sentence. We
have reviewed the documents submitted in this matter, and without
deciding upon the merits of any claims raised therein, we decline to
exercise original jurisdiction in this matter. A challenge to the validity of
the judgment of conviction must be raised in a postconviction petition for a
writ of habeas corpus filed in the district court in the first instance.' NRS
34.724(2)(b); NRS 34.738(1). Accordingly, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
