A petition for a writ of habeas corpus that challenges the computation of time that the petitioner has served pursuant to a judgment of conviction must be in substantially the following form, with appropriate modifications if the petition is filed in the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court:

1. (1) Use this form if you are currently serving a sentence pursuant to a judgment of conviction and are challenging the postconviction computation of your time served, the revocation of your parole or the forfeiture of your credits. Do not use this form if you are requesting relief from a judgment of conviction.
2. (2) This petition must be legibly handwritten or typewritten, signed by the petitioner and verified.
3. (3) You must include facts which support your grounds for relief. You do not need to cite law or authorities. You may submit additional pages if necessary with this form.
4. (4) If you want an attorney appointed, you must complete an Affidavit in Support of Request to Proceed in Forma Pauperis. An authorized officer at the prison must complete the certificate as to the amount of money and securities on deposit to your credit in any account in the institution.
5. (5) You must name as respondent the person by whom you are confined or restrained. If you are in a specific institution of the Department of Corrections, name the warden or head of the institution. If you are not in a specific institution of the Department but:
6. (a) Within its custody, name the Director of the Department of Corrections.
7. (b) Under the supervision of the Division of Parole and Probation of the Department of Public Safety, name the probation officer or parole officer assigned to you at this time.
8. (6) You must include all grounds for relief which you may have regarding the computation of time served on your sentence. Failure to raise all grounds in this petition may preclude you from filing future petitions challenging the same computation of time issue.
9. (7) You must allege specific facts supporting the claims in this petition. Failure to allege specific facts rather than just conclusions may cause your petition to be dismissed.

10. (8) When the petition is fully completed, the original and one copy must be filed with the clerk of the state district court for the county in which you are incarcerated, or, if you are incarcerated outside this State, the First Judicial District Court in and for Carson City. One copy must be mailed or electronically delivered to the respondent and one copy must be mailed or electronically delivered to the Attorney General’s Office. Copies must conform in all particulars to the original submitted for filing.
