JAMES VANCE WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.


An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

This is an appeal from an order of the district court dismissing a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Scott N. Freeman, Judge.

Appellant claims that the district court erred by dismissing his petition and finding that he is not entitled to any presentence credit in this matter. We disagree. The district court found that for the entire time appellant was in custody for the instant offense he was also in custody for another, unrelated offense and appellant was given credit for all time served in the judgment of conviction for the other offense. The district court further found that pursuant to NRS 176.055(2) appellant was not entitled to any credit for time he spent in confinement pursuant to the other charge. The record supports the district court's findings and we conclude the district court did not err by dismissing appellant's petition. Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
