ORDER

13 § 2254. He has also filed various motions, including a motion for a temporary restraining order
14 and a preliminary injunction, several motions for appointment of counsel, and several motions
15 demanding miscellaneous relief. For the most part, neither the Petition nor any of the motions
16 are legible. To the extent they are legible, they are mostly unintelligible. Furthermore, the public
17 records indicate that Petitioner filed the present Petition before adjudication in the state courts.
18 The Nevada Supreme Court issued the remittitur after affirming denial of a parallel state court
19 post-conviction petition on March 11, 2014. Assuming for the sake of argument that the Court
20 now has jurisdiction to entertain the present Petition on the merits, just as if it had initially
21 granted a stay and abeyance, the Court has reviewed the state court decision and found that the
22 Court made no error or unreasonable application of clearly established federal law and did not
23 unreasonably determine any facts. See generally Cox v. State, No. 63585 (Nev. Feb. 12, 2014)
24 (Order of Affirmance).
