ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is an original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus and/or
coram nobis challenges petitioner’s conviction on the ground that the jury
was not sworn in prior to trial. Having considered the petition, we are not
persuaded that our extraordinary intervention is warranted. See NRS
34.170; Pan v. Kighth Judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev. 222, 224, 88 P.3d 840,
841 (2004) (noting that writ relief is proper only when there is no plain,
speedy, and adequate remedy at law and explaining that petitioner bears
the burden of demonstrating that extraordinary relief is warranted).
Any application for such relief should be made to, and resolved
by, the district court in the first instance so that factual and legal issues are
fully developed, giving this court an adequate record to review. See Round
Hull Gen. Imp. Dist. v. Newman, 97 Nev. 601, 604, 637 P.2d 534, 536 (1981)
(recognizing that “an appellate court is not an appropriate forum in which
to resolve disputed questions of fact”); Zobrist v. Sheriff, 96 Nev. 625, 626,
614 P.2d 538, 539 (1980) (observing that writ petitions raising questions of
fact should be considered “by a tribunal equipped to handle that task”):
