CAMPBELL v. WILLIAMS (2020)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Justin Douglas Campbell appeals from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on March 11, 2019. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tierra Danielle Jones, Judge.

First, Campbell argues the district court erred by denying his claim that he was entitled to additional presentence credits for the time spent in jail between sentencing and when the judgment of conviction was signed and filed by the judge. He also argues the district court erred by denying his claim that he should have received good time credits for the time he spent in pretrial confinement. These claims were not raised in his petition filed below, and we decline to address them for the first time on appeal. McNelton v. State, 115 Nev. 396, 416, 990 P.2d 1263, 1276 (1999).

Second, Campbell argues the district court erred by denying his claim that the prison did not give him enough credits for classes that he took. In his petition below, Campbell argued he was entitled to 19.5 days of credits for the classes he took. However, this was a bare claim that Campbell failed to support with specific facts that, if true, would entitle him to relief. Hargrove v. State, 100 Nev. 498, 502-03, 686 P.2d 222, 225 (1984). Therefore, we conclude the district court did not err by denying this claim. On appeal, Campbell claims he was entitled to 30 to 45 more days of credits for completing these classes. Because this claim is different than the claim raised below, we decline to consider it for the first time on appeal. McNelton, 115 Nev. at 416, 990 P.2d at 1276.

Campbell does not challenge the other findings of the district court in its order denying the petition, and we conclude the district court did not err by denying the petition. Therefore, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
