WILLIAM MASSAQUOI, Appellant, v. WILLIAM A. GITTERE, WARDEN, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
William Massaquoi appeals from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging the computation of time served. Seventh Judicial District Court, White Pine County; Steve L. Dobrescu, Judge.
In his June 27, 2022, petition, Massaquoi argued that the Nevada Department of Corrections should apply statutory good time credits to his minimum sentence and that the failure to do so resulted in a violation of the Ex Post Facto Clause. An incarcerated person may pursue a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus to challenge the computation of time served only “after exhausting all available administrative remedies.” NRS 34.724(1). The district court found that Massaquoi neither alleged nor established that he had exhausted his administrative remedies, and the record supports the district court's finding. Accordingly, we conclude the district court did not err by denying the petition, see NRS 34.810(2), and we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AEFIRMED.
