Unless there is good cause shown for delay, a petition that challenges the validity of a judgment of conviction or sentence must be filed within 1 year after entry of the judgment of conviction or, if an appeal has been taken from the judgment, within 1 year after the appellate court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to the rules fixed by the Supreme Court pursuant to Section 4 of Article 6 of the Nevada Constitution issues its remittitur. For the purposes of this subsection, good cause for delay exists if the petitioner demonstrates to the satisfaction of the court:\n(a) That the delay is not the fault of the petitioner; and\n(b) That dismissal of the petition as untimely will unduly prejudice the petitioner.\n2. The execution of a sentence must not be stayed for the period provided in subsection 1 solely because a petition may be filed within that period. A stay of sentence must not be granted unless:\n(a) A petition is actually filed; and\n(b) The petitioner establishes a compelling basis for the stay.","path":["TITLE 3 — REMEDIES; SPECIAL ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS","CHAPTER 34 - WRITS; PETITION TO ESTABLISH FACTUAL INNOCENCE","HABEAS CORPUS","Petitions for Postconviction Relief"],"source_url":"https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-034.html#NRS034Sec726","current_through":"2025 session (NRS as revised 2026-08-25)","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-09-03T05:51:30Z","sha256":"c98195abddf8f1ddc8620999f99f2e3c253eb6d63b5b81d2b7e63f0008508143","source_id":"us-nv","stale":true,"prev":"us-nv/nrs-34.724","next":"us-nv/nrs-34.730"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
