ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is a proper person appeal from an order of the district court denying a petition for a writ of mandamus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jessie Elizabeth Walsh, 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).
In his petition filed on June 22, 2010, appellant sought an order directing the Department of Corrections to deduct good-time credits. Challenges to the computation of time served must be raised in a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. NRS 34.724(2)(c). Appellant failed to demonstrate that a writ of mandamus should issue because mandamus was not the proper vehicle to raise this claim. See NRS 34.170. Therefore, the district court did not err in denying the petition. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
