Rowell (Lamarr) v. State ( 2013 )

 post-conviction counsel is discretionary in Nevada, and a prerequisite to
the appointment of counsel is the filing of a petition, and appellant did not
file his petition until after the one-year period had passed. See NRS
34.750(1). Third, appellant's ignorance of procedural rules would not
provide good cause for the delay. 2 See Phelps v. Director, Prisons, 104
Nev. 656, 764 P.2d 1303 (1988). Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.

2We note that appellant's assertion that he was unaware of or
unable to comply with procedural rules defies belief given appellant's
lengthy history of litigation in this court, of which we take judicial notice.
