DONALD MICHAEL SAVAGE, Appellant, v. JAMES DZURENDA, DIRECTOR, NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Donald Michael Savage appeals from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging the computation of time served, filed on May 31, 2017. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James E. Wilson, 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. NRAP 34(f)(3), (g). --------
Savage claimed he was entitled to 200 hours of work credits, pursuant to NRS 209.4465(2), for time he was ready and willing to work but could not because the Nevada Department of Corrections did not have enough jobs. NRS 209.4465(2) requires prisoners to actually work to earn the credits. Accordingly, Savage did not demonstrate he was entitled to the deduction of work credits. We therefore conclude the district court did not err by denying Savage's petition, and we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
