                                       ORDER DENYING PETITION

                            This original pro se postconviction petition for a writ of habeas
                corpus challenges several actions of the district court regarding the
                postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus that petitioner filed below
                on November 10, 2021.
                            Having considered the petition, we are not persuaded that writ
                relief is warranted, because petitioner has a plain, speedy, and adequate
                legal remedy available to him by way of an appeal from any district court
                order denying his petition in the first instance.        See NRAP 22 ("An
                application for an original writ of habeas corpus should be rnade to the
                appropriate district court. If an application is made to the district court and
                denied, the proper remedy is by appeal from the district court's order
                denying the writ"); see also Pan u. Eighth judicial Dist. Court, 120 Nev.
