11/03/2003Order/ProceduralFiled Order. On July 14, 2003, this court received a proper person letter from appellant. In his letter, appellant requests permission to file a proper person Supplemental Opening Brief and for this court to 'order the record be made available to it so as to allow Appellant to point the Court to specific areas germane to carrying his burden in this appeal.' We note that appellant is represented by counsel in this appeal. We decline to grant appellant permission to file documents in proper person. See NRAP 46(b). Accordingly, we direct the clerk of this court to return, unfiled, the proper person document received on July 14, 2003. Appellant shall address all questions and concerns regarding this appeal to counsel, and shall proceed through counsel in the prosecution of this appeal. Should counsel determine that any additional filings are appropriate, counsel may file a motion requesting the appropriate relief. 03-18252

"ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED." fn28[To the extent appellant contends that his conviction violates the Fourth, Fifth, and Eighth amendments to the United States and Nevada Constitutions and the presumption of innocence, we conclude that appellant waived these claims by failing to raise them in his direct appeal and by failing to plead specific facts that demonstrate good cause for failing to raise them in the prior proceeding.] NNP04S-NB/MS/MG 03-18368
