                                            ORDER DENYING PETITION
                                  This is a pro se petition for a writ of extraordinary relief
                challenging the computation of time served. We have reviewed the
                documents submitted in this matter, and without deciding upon the merits
                of any claims raised therein, we decline to exercise original jurisdiction in
                this matter. A challenge to the computation of time served must be raised
                in a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the district
                court in the first instance.' NRS 34.724(2)(c); NRS 34.738(1); NRAP 22.
                Accordingly, we
