CHARLES DAVIS, Appellant, v. DWIGHT NEVEN, WARDEN, 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An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority.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 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; Adriana Escobar, 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 October 9, 2012, appellant claimed that the Department of Corrections failed to correctly calculate and apply his statutory good time credits to reduce his minimum term and that this interfered with parole planning and parole release. Based upon our review of the record on appeal, we conclude that the district court did not err in denying relief. Appellant received a parole hearing on February 25, 2013. Thus, appellant's claims that the proper amount of credits was not applied to the minimum sentence and that he was denied a parole hearing have been rendered moot by the parole hearing. Appellant failed to demonstrate that he was entitled to any additional credits applicable to his maximum sentence. NRS 209.4465. Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
