Leavitt v. Warden
Leavitt v. Warden
Opinion
resources available to him in the prison law library, petitioner has an adequate legal remedy through a42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, and thus, writ relief is not appropriate in this matter. See Bounds v. Smith, 430 U.S. 817, 828 (1977) (explaining that the constitutional right of access to the courts includes an inmate's right to "adequate law libraries or adequate assistance from persons trained in the law"); see also NRS 34.170; International Game Tech., 124 Nev. at 197, 179 P.3d at 558. Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.'

"We direct the clerk of this court to file petitioner's September 17, 2012, "motion for judgment on the pleadings"; April 23, 2012, "motion for enlargement of time limitation"; and May 11, 2012, "opposition to respondent's notice of potential dismissal for failure to pay Supreme Court filing fee." Having considered these motions, we deny them as moot. We also direct the clerk of this court to file petitioner's September 17, 2012, supplement to the petition; February 5, 2013, supplement to the petition; and February 19, 2013, correction to the first supplement to the petition. We have considered these supplements in our resolution of this petition. SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA 2 (0) 1947A
