ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is a proper person appeal from an order of the district court denying a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus . Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Kathy A. Hardcastle, Judge.
This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument, NRAP 34(f)(3), and we conclude that the record is sufficient for our review and briefing is unwarranted. See Luckett v. Warden, 91 Nev. 681, 682, 541 P.2d 910, 911 (1975).
Appellant's claim that pursuant to NRS 209.449(1) he was entitled to a credit of 60 days for completion of all programming lacks merit. The provisions of NRS 209.449(1) apply only to programs of “vocational education or training” or “other programs approved by the Director.” As the Director of the Nevada Department of Corrections pursuant to NRS 209.449 did not approve any of the programming contested by appellant, and appellant did not allege that the programming was vocational in nature, appellant is not entitled to the 60–day credit provided by that same section. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
