ORDER DENYING PETITION FOR A WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION

This original pro se petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition appears to challenge petitioner's equal and consecutive sentence for the use of a deadly weapon. In this, petitioner argues that his sentence for the deadly weapon enhancement should be no more than one to twenty years. 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.
