DSHANTE FRANSUAVE STYLES, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is a pro se appeal from an order of the district court denying appellant Dshante Styles' May 31, 2016, postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James E. Wilson, Judge. Styles challenged the computation of time he has served. We affirm.
This appeal has been submitted for decision on the record without briefing or oral argument. NRAP 34(f)(3), (g); see also NRAP 31(d)(1); Luckett v. Warden, 91 Nev. 681, 682, 541 P.2d 910, 911 (1975). --------
Styles claimed that the Nevada Department of Corrections is not deducting statutory credits from his minimum sentences pursuant to NRS 209.4465(7)(b). Styles' claim lacks merit. NRS 209.4465(7) begins, "Except as otherwise provided in subsection [ ] 8," and NRS 209.4465(8) specifically excludes offenders convicted of category B felonies from deducting statutory credits from their minimum sentences. Styles' sentences are for category B felonies, see NRS 200.380(2), that were committed after the effective date of NRS 209.4465(8). Accordingly, Styles is not entitled to the deduction of credits from his minimum sentences, and we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
