Carlos IBARRA-ROQUE, Appellant, v. William A. GITTERE, Warden ESP, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Carlos Ibarra-Roque appeals from a district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on July 8, 2019. Seventh Judicial District Court, White Pine County; Steve L. Dobrescu, Judge.
In his petition, Ibarra-Roque claimed he did not receive statutory good-time credit to his minimum term for his conviction in district court case number CR8310. He alleged that the denial of this credit was improper, discriminatory, and violated a liberty interest in parole. He further alleged that the failure to award the credit will have an adverse impact on his sentences in two other cases.
We conclude the district court did not err by denying the petition. As the district court notes, Ibarra-Roque stated in his petition that he had already expired his sentence for the conviction in district court case number CR8310. Upon expiration of his sentence in CR8310, any challenge Ibarra-Roque may have had regarding the application of statutory good-time credit to that sentence was rendered moot. See Williams v. State, Dep't of Corr., 133 Nev. 594, 600 n.7, 402 P.3d 1260, 1265 n.7 (2017) (“[N]o relief can be afforded where the offender has already expired the sentence.”). Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
