CHARLES JOSEPH MAKI, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is a pro se appeal from an order of the district court denying appellant Charles Joseph Maki's petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Lidia Stiglich, Judge.
This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument, NRAP 34(f)(3), and we conclude that the record is sufficient for our review and briefing is unwarranted. See Luckett v. Warden, 91 Nev. 681, 682, 541 P.2d 910, 911 (1975). --------
In his petition, Maki challenged his judgment of conviction. We have reviewed the documents on file with this court and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Maki's request for intervention by way of extraordinary writ because a challenge to the validity of the judgment of conviction must be raised in a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. See NRS 34.160; NRS 34.320; NRS 34.724(2)(b); Reno Newspapers, Inc. v. Haley, 126 Nev., Adv. Op. 23, 234 P.3d 922, 924 (2010) (providing that this court reviews the district court's denial of a writ petition for an abuse of discretion). Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
