ELIZABETH A. EiROWN and CLERK" SUPREME COURT THE STATE OF NEVADA, BY It' y CLERK Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

In this original pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus, petitioner appears to seek a new trial based on his allegation of ineffective assistance of trial counsel.

Problematically, petitioner has not provided this court with exhibits or other documentation that would support his claims for relief. See NRAP 21(a)(4) (providing the petitioner shall submit an appendix containing all documents "essential to understand the matters set forth in the petition"). Moreover, a challenge to a judgment of conviction must be raised in a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the district court in the first instance. See NRS 34.724; NRS• 34.738; NRAP 22. Therefore, without deciding the merits of the claims raised
