IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

TODD MICHAEL HONEYCUTT, No. 71281 Petitioner, vs. CONNIE S. BISBEE; ISIDRO BACA, FILED WARDEN; NEVADA PAROLE BOARD; AND NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF Nov 1 7 2016 CORRECTIONS, Resoondents.

ORDER DENYING PETITION This is an original petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition challenging the Parole Board's denial of parole. We are not satisfied that this court's intervention by way of extraordinary relief is warranted at this time. Because the claims involve issues of fact, petitioner should seek relief in the district court in the first instance. See Round Hill Gen. Improvement Dist. v. Newman, 97 Nev. 601, 604, 637 P.2d 534, 536 (1981); see also NRS 34.160; NRS 34.170; NRS 34.320.

Accordingly, we ORDER the petition DENIED.'
