QUINTIN WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.


ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Quintin Williams appeals from a judgment of conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea, for robbery with the use of a deadly weapon, robbery of a victim 60 years of age or older, and second-degree kidnapping of a victim 60 years of age or older. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Douglas W. Herndon, Judge.

Williams contends the district court deprived him of his full 504 days' credit for time served. Williams acknowledges he was held pursuant to a judgment of conviction in another case during part of that time. Nevertheless, relying on Johnson v. State, 120 Nev. 296, 89 P.3d 669 (2004), Williams argues that, because his sentences on the two cases are concurrent, he is entitled to have his presentence credit applied to both cases.

Williams' reliance on Johnson is misplaced. Johnson relates to concurrent sentences within a single judgment of conviction and not concurrent sentences between separate judgments of conviction. Williams was not entitled to have credit that was applied in his other case also applied to the instant case. See NRS 176.055(1) (providing defendants are entitled to presentence credit for time served "unless the defendant's confinement was pursuant to a judgment of conviction for another offense").

Having concluded Williams' claim on appeal is without merit, we

ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
