Sutton (Kevin) v. State ( 2015 )


Menu:
  •                 cause and prejudice.    See NRS 34.726(1). Moreover, appellant pleaded
    guilty, and therefore his petition was subject to the procedural bar set
    forth in NRS 34.810(1)(a). Further, because the State pleaded ladies,
    appellant was required to overcome the presumption of prejudice to the
    State.   See NRS 34.800(1), (2).
    Appellant failed to demonstrate good cause and prejudice to
    overcome the procedural default, see Brown v. McDaniel, 130 Nev. Adv.
    Op. 60, 
    331 P.3d 867
    , 870 (2014), or that the failure to consider his claims
    amounts to a fundamental miscarriage of justice, Mitchell v. State, 
    122 Nev. 1269
    , 1273-74, 
    149 P.3d 33
    , 36 (2006). Appellant also failed to
    overcome the presumption of prejudice to the State. Accordingly, we
    conclude that the district court did not err in denying the petition as
    procedurally barred, and we
    ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
