Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

PAUL A. KAYLOR, No. 71622 Petitioner, vs. TAHOE TOWNSHIP JUSTICE COURT; AND THE HONORABLE VICTOR P. TRUJILLO, SENIOR JUSTICE OF THE PEACE, FILED Respondents, DEC 1 5 2016 and THE STATE OF NEVADA, Real Party in Interest.

ORDER DENYING PETITION This is a petition for a writ of certiorari challenging a misdemeanor conviction arising from the justice court. Petitioner Paul Kaylor argues that the district court erred in affirming his misdemeanor conviction because there was insufficient evidence he violated the ordinance, the statutory obligations of innkeepers were ignored, and the county code was unconstitutionally vague and violated his due process rights. We decline to exercise our jurisdiction to consider this petition because Kaylor did not challenge the constitutionality or the validity of the ordinance in the district court and because his claims do not implicate the jurisdiction of the lower courts. See NRS 34.020; Zamarripa v. First
