ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
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; Kenneth C. Cory, 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
In his petition filed on December 28, 2010, appellant claimed that the Nevada Department of Corrections had not awarded him credits for his participation in a re-entry program and had not provided him with enough credits for his participation in various courses. The district court considered the merits of the claims and denied the petition.
Subsequent to the district court's denial of the petition, the documents before this court indicate that appellant expired his sentence and was discharged from the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections. This court has recognized that expiration of a defendant's sentence rendered any question concerning computation of the sentence moot. See Johnson v. Director, Dep't Prisons, 105 Nev. 314, 316, 774 P.2d 1047, 1049 (1989). Thus, because the documents before this court indicate that appellant has expired his sentence, appellant's petition was rendered moot. Accordingly, we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
