JONES v. STATE (2024)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

In his petition, Jones neither alleged nor demonstrated that he had exhausted his administrative remedies prior to filing the petition. Accordingly, we conclude the district court did not err by denying his petition.² See NRS 34.724(1), (2)(c). Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.

FOOTNOTES

2.   In his petition, Jones sought the application of credits to his minimum sentence pursuant to Assembly Bill 271 (A.B. 271). The district court addressed the merits of Jones’ claim by noting A.B. 271 was never passed into law and thus provided Jones no basis for relief. Although Jones’ petition should have been dismissed without prejudice because he did not demonstrate that he had first exhausted his administrative remedies, see NRS 34.810(2), we nevertheless affirm, see Wyatt v. State, 86 Nev. 294, 298, 468 P.2d 338, 341 (1970) (holding a correct result will not be reversed simply because it is based on the wrong reason).
