MANUEL GEORGE ADAM NEREZ, III, A/K/A MANUEL ADAM GEORGE NEREZ, III, A/K/A MANUEL GEORGE NEREZ, Appellant, v. DWIGHT NEVEN, WARDEN, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is an appeal from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, Judge.
This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument and we conclude the record is sufficient for our review and briefing is unwarranted. See NRAP 34(f)(3), (g). --------
In his June 8, 2015, petition, appellant Manuel George Adam Nerez, III, claimed the Nevada Department of Corrections failed to appropriately award him credits against his sentence. Because it appeared from the record that Nerez had expired his sentence, this court directed the Attorney General to state whether Nerez was still incarcerated pursuant to the sentence at issue in this matter. The Attorney General provided information demonstrating Nerez had expired his sentence and was discharged on March 2, 2016. The expiration of Nerez's sentence renders his challenge to the computation of time served moot. See Johnson v. Director, Nevada Dep't Prisons, 105 Nev. 314, 316, 774 P.2d 1047, 1049 (1989) (stating that expiration of a defendant's sentence rendered any question concerning computation of the sentence moot). Accordingly, we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
