ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is an appeal under NRAP 4(c) of conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea of failing to stop on signal of a police officer, robbery with the use of a deadly weapon, and possession of a stolen vehicle. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Valorie J. Vega, Judge.
Appellant Martese Slack claims his equal protection rights were violated when the district court failed to appoint him post-conviction counsel. Because Slack's appeal falls within the ambit of NRAP 4(c), he is limited to claims appropriate for direct appeal. His challenge is not appropriate in this direct appeal from the judgment of conviction under our Rules of Appellate Procedure. Further, Slack's challenge is precluded by this court's prior decision affirming the district court's denial of his post-conviction habeas petition as to all claims other than his claim that he was denied his right to appeal the judgment of conviction. Slack v. State, Docket No. 53270 (Order Affirming in Part, Reversing in Part and Remanding, May 10, 2010) (reversing only the appeal deprivation claim).
Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
