v.
The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
No. 8038.
Supreme Court of Nevada.
October 10, 1975.
Lohse & Lohse, Reno, Morgan D. Harris, Public Defender and Michael A. Cherry, Deputy, Public Defender Las Vegas, for appellant.

OPINION
PER CURIAM:
On September 18, 1973, Karl Jerome Nix was granted habeas relief from a robbery charge because of prearraignment delay.
Five days later, on September 23, 1973, the robbery charge was refiled. Nix again sought, but was denied, habeas relief. No appeal was taken. He was subsequently tried and convicted and in this appeal attempts to obtain a review of the order denying his pretrial habeas petition. We decline to review the habeas proceeding.
Nix's proper course of action was to appeal from the order denying the petition for a writ of habeas corpus, pursuant to the provisions of NRS 34.380(3).[1] By *2 failing to avail himself of this remedy, he has waived any impropriety in the trial court's order. George v. State, 89 Nev. 47, 505 P.2d 1217 (1973); Oberle v. Fogliani, 82 Nev. 428, 420 P.2d 251 (1966).
Nix also contends there was insufficient evidence to support the conviction. We reject this contention. "Where there is substantial evidence to support a verdict in a criminal case, as the record indicates exists in this case, the reviewing court will not disturb the verdict nor set aside the judgment." Sanders v. State, 90 Nev. 433, 434, 529 P.2d 206, 207 (1974). See also, Azbill v. State, 88 Nev. 240, 495 P.2d 1064 (1972); Crowe v. State, 84 Nev. 358, 441 P.2d 90 (1968).
Affirmed.
