Lavell Johnny WRIGHT, Appellant, v. Isidro BACA, Warden, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Lavell Johnny Wright appeals from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on August 16, 2019. Eleventh Judicial District Court, Pershing County; Jim C. Shirley, Judge.

Therefore, the district court concluded Wright properly received the 104 days of presentence credit. The record supports the decision of the district court, and we conclude the district court did not err by denying Wright's petition. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
