ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is a proper person appeal from an order of the district court denying a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus . Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michelle Leavitt, 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 July 9, 2009, appellant claimed that his constitutional rights were violated when he was denied parole in November 2008. Appellant's claims did not challenge the validity of his judgment of conviction, sentence, or computation of time and were therefore not cognizable in a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. See NRS 34.720. Accordingly, we conclude that the district court did not err in denying the petition. Moreover, in attempting to send appellant documents in prison, this court has received information that he has since been released on parole. Appellant's release from prison on parole renders moot his claims regarding any previous denial of parole. Accordingly, we
The district court reached its decision on the merits of appellant's claims. We nevertheless affirm the district court's decision for the reasons stated above. See Wyatt v. State, 86 Nev. 294, 298, 468 P.2d 338, 341 (1970) (holding that a correct result will not be reversed simply because it is based on the wrong reason).
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
