ORDER DENYING PETITION

In this original postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus, Ronnie Long, Jr. challenges his mental capacity during the time of the crime, the legality of his sentence, and the effectiveness of his counsel. We conclude our intervention by way of extraordinary writ is not warranted. A postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus should be filed in the district court in the first instance in compliance with the provisions in NRS chapter 34.¹ Therefore, without reaching the merit of any claims raised, we

1 We express no opinion as to whether Long can meet the procedural requirements of NRS chapter 34. --------

ORDER the petition DENIED.
