                                        ORDER DENYING PETITION

                             This is an original pro se petition for a writ of certiorari.
                 Petitioner challenges the validity of his judgments of conviction, the
                 sentences   imposed,    and   the   Nevada    Department        of        Corrections'
                 computation of time served. We have reviewed the documents submitted
                 by petitioner and, without deciding the merits of the claims raised, decline
                 to exercise original jurisdiction in this matter. A challenge to the validity
                 of a judgment of conviction and sentence and the computation of time must
                 be raised in a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the
