OPINION

PER CURIAM:

This is an appeal from denial of a pretrial petition for writ of habeas corpus in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada. The sole issue on appeal is sufficiency of the evidence presented before the grand jury to support the indictment charging appellants with possession of narcotics. The transcript of the grand jury proceedings is not before this court, nor are we able to ascertain that it was designated as a part of the record on appeal. We are therefore wholly unable to decide the issues presented.

The order denying the application for a writ of habeas corpus is affirmed.
