PETER JASON HELFRICH, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, Respondent.


ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

Peter Jason Helfrich appeals from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on August 18, 2018. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, Chief Judge.

On August 22, 2019, Helfrich filed a document on appeal entitled "Bill of Complaint in Equity Presentment to Void Proceedings and Jurisdiction." Within this document, Helfrich included his discharge papers showing he discharged his sentence on January 6, 2019. Because Helfrich's claims in his petition related to the computation of time served, Helfrich's discharge of his sentence has rendered this appeal moot. See Johnson v. Dir., Nev. Dep't of Prisons, 105 Nev. 314, 316, 774 P.2d 1047, 1049 (1989). Accordingly, we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.

Given our disposition of this appeal, we decline to consider the documents Helfrich filed in this appeal. --------
