TAMAS HORVATH, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA; THE STATE OF NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS; AND ISIDRO BACA, WARDEN, Respondents.


ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Tamas Horvath appeals from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James E. Wilson, Judge.

This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument. NRAP 34(f)(3).

In his June 24, 2016, petition, Horvath claimed the Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) has improperly declined to apply his statutory credits toward his minimum terms. The district court concluded Horvath was not entitled to relief because Horvath is currently serving prison terms for category B felonies and convictions involving the use of force or threatened use of force or violence against a victim, committed in 2013, and for those reasons, the NDOC may only apply Horvath's statutory credits toward his maximum terms pursuant to NRS 209.4465(8)(a), (d). Given these circumstances, we conclude the district court did not err in denying the petition. Accordingly, we

The record demonstrates Horvath was convicted of invasion of the home while in possession of a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm at or into a structure, attempted invasion of the home, and resisting a public officer with the use of a firearm. See NRS 193.330(3); NRS 199.280; NRS 202.285(1)(b); NRS 205.067. --------
