motion filed in petitioner's criminal case. See NRS 34.370 (setting forth the requirements for a petition for a writ of habeas corpus); Sheriff v. Hatch, 100 Nev. 664, 665-66, 691 P.2d 449, 450 (1984) (explaining that a petition for habeas corpus is a collateral attack, which is litigated through an independent action.) Thus, we conclude that this court's intervention by way of extraordinary relief is not warranted, and we deny the petition.

See NRAP 21(b)(1); Smith, 107 Nev. at 677, 818 P.2d at 851.

It is so ORDERED.
