OPINION

Per Curiam:

In this appeal from an order denying a pretrial petition for habeas corpus, we ‍​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍believe the unchallenged evidence adduced at the preliminary examination justified the magistrate’s determination that there was probable cause to hold appellant for trial. NRS 171.206. See concurring opinion by ‍​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍Zenoff, J., in Franklin v. State, 89 Nev. 382, 389, 513 P.2d 1252, 1257 (1973). Cf. Callanan v. United States, 364 U.S. 587 (1961); McWilliams v. State, 87 Nev. 302, 486 P.2d 481 (1971).

“[W]e are ‍​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍not now concerned with the prospect that the evidence presently in the record may, by itself, be insufficient to sustain a conviction.” McDonald v. Sheriff, 89 Nev. 326, 327, 512 ‍​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍P.2d 774, 775 (1973).

Other contentions raised by appellant have previously been considered and rejected. McGee v. Sheriff, 86 Nev. 421, 470 P.2d 132 (1970); cf. Johnson v. Sheriff, 89 Nev. 304, 511 P.2d ‍​‌​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍1051 (1973); Goldsmith v. Sheriff, 85 Nev. 295, 454 P.2d 86 (1969).

The order denying habeas relief is affirmed.
