Allen (Gene) v. State

Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

GENE ANTHONY ALLEN, No. 78110 Petitioner, VS.

THE STATE OF NEVADA; AND ISIDRO FILED BACA, WARDEN, Respondents. FEB 2 5 2019 ELIZABETH A. BROWN CLERK OF SUPREME COURT

ORDER DENYING PETITION

DEPUTY CLERK

This is an original pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus.

We decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRAP 22 ("An application for an original writ of habeas corpus should be made to the appropriate district court."); see also Zobrist v. Sheriff, Carson City, 96 Nev. 625, 626, 614 P.2d 538, 539 (1980) (indicating this court has discretion to decide whether to entertain an original petition for a writ of habeas corpus and that such petitions raising questions of fact should be considered "by a tribunal equipped to handle that task"). Additionally, we decline to intervene because petitioner failed to submit an adequate appendix for our review. See NRS 34.160; NRAP 21(a)(4). Accordingly, without reaching the merit of any claims raised, we ORDER the petition DENIED.
