Sullivan v. State

OPINION

In this appeal, we consider whether the district court’s entry of an amended judgment of conviction provided good cause to extend the one-year limitation set forth in NRS 34.726(1) for filing a timely post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. We conclude that because the claims presented in appellant’s post-conviction petition were unrelated to the district court’s clerical amendment, the entry of the amended judgment in this case did not provide good cause to excuse appellant’s failure to raise the claims asserted in his petition within the statutory deadline.
