RASHEED BEY, Appellant, v. BRIAN WILLIAMS, WARDEN, Respondent.


ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Rasheed Bey appeals 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. NRAP 34(f)(3).

Bey argues the district court erred in denying his June 17, 2016, petition. In his petition, Bey claimed the Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) improperly declined to apply statutory and work credits toward his minimum terms. The district court concluded Bey was not entitled to relief because Bey is serving a prison term for a category B felony he committed in 2014, and for those reasons, the NDOC may only apply credits toward Bey's maximum term pursuant to NRS 209.4465(8)(d). Given these circumstances, we conclude the district court did not err in denying the petition. Accordingly, we

The record demonstrates Bey was convicted of mid-level trafficking in a controlled substance, a category B felony. See NRS 453.3385(1)(b). --------
