cc: Howard Sherman Attorney General/Carson City
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This is an original "Writ of Habeas Corpus for Restraint of Liberty to Operate a Motor Vehicle by Suspension of Drivers License without Due Process Proceeding." We decline to exercise our original jurisdiction in this matter. See NRAP 22 ("An application for an original writ of habeas corpus should be made to the appropriate district court."); see also Zobrist v. Sheriff, Carson City, 96 Nev. 625, 626, 614 P.2d 538, 539 (1980) (indicating this court has discretion to decide whether to entertain an original petition for a writ of habeas corpus and that such petitions raising questions of fact should be considered "by a tribunal equipped to handle that task"). Accordingly, without reaching the merit of any claims raise, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
