IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

                THOMAS VAIL,                                         No. 68289

                                       ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
                            This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying
                appellant Thomas Vail's postconviction petition for a writ of habeas
                corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Eric Johnson,
                Judge.
                            Vail's petition was filed on December 31, 2014, more than one
                year after his judgment of conviction was entered on December 2, 2013. 1
                See NRS 34.726. Thus, his petition was untimely filed. Vail failed to

                      Wail pleaded guilty to theft in the amount of $2,500 or more against
                a person 60 years of age or older and was sentenced to 26 to 72 months
                incarceration. The sentence was suspended and Vail was placed on
                probation. On December 30, 2013, the district court entered an amended
                judgment of conviction revoking his probation and imposing the
                underlying sentence.

                consider them in the first instance.
