MICHAEL LUIS COTA, Appellant, v. WILLIAM A. GITTERE, WARDEN, Respondent.


UNPUBLISHED OPINION

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Gibbons, C. J.

Michael Luis Cota appeals from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on October 6, 2021. Seventh Judicial District Court, White Pine County; Steve L. Dobrescu, Judge.

In his petition, Cota claimed that statutory good time credits should have been applied to the minimum term of the sentence imposed for his conviction of principal to grand larceny of a firearm. The district court's finding that Cota had been discharged from that sentence is supported by the record. Accordingly, any claims for credit as to that sentence are moot. See Johnson v. Dir., Nev. Dep't of Prisons, 105 Nev. 314, 316, 774 P.2d 1047, 1049 (1989). Therefore, we conclude the district court did not err by denying Cota's petition, and we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.

Hon. Steve L. Dobrescu, District Judge.
