STEVEN BRADLEY HODGES, Appellant, v. TIMOTHY FILSON, WARDEN, Respondent.


ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Steven Bradley Hodges appeals from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Seventh Judicial District Court, White Pine County; Gary Fairman, Judge.

This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument and we conclude the record is sufficient for our review and briefing is unwarranted. NRAP 34(f)(3), (g). --------

In his September 16, 2016, petition, Hodges asserted his due process rights were violated during a prison disciplinary hearing. The respondent provided evidence demonstrating Hodges had not forfeited credits as a result of the disciplinary hearing and, as a result, the district court concluded Hodges' claims were not cognizable in a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus because they challenged the conditions of his confinement. See Bowen v. Warden, 100 Nev. 489, 490, 686 P.2d 250, 250 (1984). Substantial evidence supports the district court's conclusion. Accordingly, we conclude the district court did not err in denying the petition, and we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
