Opinion of the Court
On June 19, 1975, the Clark County Grand Jury returned an indictment charging appellant with grand larceny, a felony under NRS 205.220. She was subsequently arrested, posted bail, and, on July 3,1975, arraigned, at which time she pleaded not guilty. Trial was scheduled for August 25, 1975.
On August 22, 1975, appellant’s unopposed motion to vacate the scheduled trial date was granted and, on October 17, 1975, she filed a pretrial petition for habeas corpus which contended there was insufficient evidence to support the indictment. Habeas was denied and the same contention is reurged in this appeal.
We do not reach the merit, if any, of appellant’s contention. The arraigning judge stated that “[cjounsel can stipulate the court will retain jurisdiction to hear the Writ [of habeas corpus] after she enters a plea.”
The habeas petition, not being timely filed, was not cognizable in the district court.
ORDER this appeal dismissed.
There is nothing in this record to show that there was a stipulation. See DCR 24.
The judge who heard and denied the habeas petition was not the arraigning judge.
