LAVERN CHARLES FASTHORSE, Petitioner, v. THE EIGHTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF CLARK; AND THE HONORABLE LINDA MARIE BELL, DISTRICT JUDGE, Respondents and JAMES DZURENDA, DIRECTOR NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; JO GENTRY, WARDEN, SOUTHERN DESERT CORRECTIONAL CENTER; JONATHAN COOPER, DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY; AND JEREMY WOOD, DEPUTY PUBLIC DEFENDER, Real parties in interest.
ORDER DENYING PETITION
This original petition for a writ of mandamus seeks an order compelling the district court to rule on Lavern Charles Fasthorse's petition for sentence modification that sought the application of credit to Fasthorse's minimum term of imprisonment. Fasthorse asserts the district court held a hearing on his petition on October 17, 2017, but no decision has yet been entered.
On April 16, 2018, we ordered the real party in interest to file an answer to the petition. The real party in interest informs this court that the district court entered an order resolving the petition on April 27, 2018, and has provided this court with a copy of that order. Because the district court has entered an order resolving Fasthorse's petition, we conclude our intervention is not warranted. See NRAP 34.160. Therefore, we
ORDER the petition DENIED.
