Good cause and exceptions
Section 34.726(1) permits late filing for good cause when the delay is not the petitioner’s fault and dismissal would cause undue prejudice.
Lani v. McDaniel · filed 2001-05-31(1)
Although Lani’s pending state court motions may have been untimely filed, the applicable Nevada statute permits exceptions for good cause. See Nev.Rev.Stat. § 34.726(1) (permitting late filing where delay is not petitioner’s fault and dismissal would cause undue prejudice). Because Lani’s motions were not untimely on their face, the one-year limitation was tolled while they were pending.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

An allegation that counsel failed to advise a petitioner of the right to appeal, or otherwise deprived the petitioner of a direct appeal without consent, does not by itself establish good cause for an untimely petition under § 34.726.
Harris v. Warden, Southern Desert Correctional Center · filed 1998-09-24(1)(a)
We now reaffirm our conclusion and hold that an allegation that trial counsel was ineffective in failing to inform a claimant of the right to appeal from the judgment of conviction, or any other allegation that a claimant was deprived of a direct appeal without his or her consent, does not constitute good cause to excuse the untimely filing of a petition pursuant to NRS 34.726.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

State v. Huebler · filed 2012-04-26(1)
To show good cause for delay under NRS 34.726(1), a petitioner must demonstrate two things: "[t]hat the delay is not the fault of the petitioner" and that the petitioner will be "unduly prejudice[d]" if the petition is dismissed as untimely. ... Because Huebler fails to demonstrate materiality, he fails, as a matter of law, to demonstrate that any errors in the disclosure of the tapes prejudiced him.

Wilson v. State · filed 2011-10-27(1)
Because Wilson filed his petition approximately 22 years after this court issued its remittitur on direct appeal from the judgment of conviction and he had previously sought post-conviction relief, the petition was untimely under NRS 34.726(1) and successive under NRS 34.810(2). ...
