    ...continued
    Because appellant represented himself at trial and at sentencing,
    the district court was required to advise him of the right to appeal the
    conviction. See NRS 177.075(2). The minutes are silent as to whether he
    received such an advisement and whether appellant requested that a
    notice of appeal be filed on his behalf. Any claim that appellant was
    deprived of a direct appeal without his consent must be raised in a timely
    post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the district
    court in the first instance. See NRS 34.724(1), (2)(b); NRS 34.738(1). In
    the instant case, because appellant failed to file a timely notice of appeal
    from his judgment, a timely post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas
    corpus must be filed in the district court before June 17, 2013 (a Monday),
    one year from entry of the judgment of conviction. NRS 34.726(1).
