OPINION

Per Curiam:

Claiming ineffective counsel, Brackenbrough asks us to annul his ‍‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‍conviction. He does not direct our attention to anything in the record of the trial to support his ‍‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‍claim, but instead, relies solely upon assertions made in a letter he wrote to the presiding judge following ‍‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‍conviction. On this direct appeal, we cannot credit such letter and the assertions therein contained. He may, of ‍‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‍course, pursue the remedy accorded by the Post-Conviction Act, NRS 177.315-385, and obtain appropriate consideration of his claim of ‍‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‍ineffective counsel. His other claimed error is without merit.

Affirmed.
