TERRANCE L. OLIVER, Appellant, v. BRIAN WILLIAMS, WARDEN, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
Terrance L. Oliver appeals from a district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus challenging the computation of time served. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Erika D. Ballou, Judge.
In his petition, Oliver alleged that the Nevada Department of Corrections failed to appropriately award him credits against his sentence. Because it appeared from the record that Oliver had expired his sentence, this court directed the Attorney General to provide information as to whether Oliver was incarcerated pursuant to the sentence imposed in this matter. The Attorney General provided documentation demonstrating Oliver discharged his sentence and was released on March 12, 2024. The discharge of Oliver's sentence renders his challenge to the computation of time served moot. See Johnson v. Dir., Nev. Dep't of Prisons, 105 Nev. 314, 316, 774 P.2d 1047, 1049 (1989) (stating that expiration of a defendant's sentence rendered any question concerning computation of the sentence moot). Accordingly, we
ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
