Martinez (Jose) v. State ( 2014 )

 his claim that he had requested a direct appeal is supported by substantial
evidence in the record, see Lader v. Warden, 121 Nev. 682, 686, 120 P.3d
1164, 1166 (2005), and appellant failed to demonstrate any other reason
why he would have reasonably believed that counsel was in fact pursuing
a direct appeal. Accordingly, appellant failed to demonstrate cause for the
delay. We therefore conclude that the district court did not err in denying
the petition as procedurally barred, and we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
