ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is a proper person appeal from an order of the district court denying appellant's “petition for a writ of mandamus and/or prohibition and/or habeas corpus (post-conviction).” First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James Todd Russell, 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 June 17, 2010, appellant raised several claims regarding the denial of his parole in 2008. As appellant was granted parole on May 2, 2011, his petition is now moot. Moreover, we note that appellant's claims that NRS 213.1214 violates the prohibition against ex post facto laws and is unconstitutionally vague were barred by the doctrine of the law of the case. See Hall v. State, 91 Nev. 314, 316, 535 P.2d 797, 799 (1975). Accordingly, we

McDonald v. State, Docket No. 56125 (Order of Affirmance, November 8, 2010).

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
