Opinion

McConnell v. State, 125 Nev. 243, 249 n.5, 212 P.3d 307, 311 n.5 (2009) (observing that post-conviction petitioner was not left without remedy for his challenge to lethal injection protocol because Supreme Court in Hill v. McDonough, 547 U.S. 573 (2006), made clear that "a challenge to lethal injection protocol may be brought in an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983").

Accordingly, we deny the petition. See NRAP 21(b).

It is so ORDERED.'
