Douglas MENDOZA-LOBOS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Douglas Mendoza-Lobos appeals from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on October 7, 2019. First Judicial District Court, Carson City; James Todd Russell, Judge.
Mendoza-Lobos claimed he is entitled to the application of statutory credits to his minimum sentences pursuant to NRS 209.4465(7)(b). The district court found Mendoza-Lobos's sentences were the result of convictions for burglary, robbery with the use of a deadly weapon, sexual assault with the use of a deadly weapon, attempted sexual assault with the use of a deadly weapon, assault with the use of a deadly weapon, and battery with the use of a deadly weapon. The district court further found Mendoza-Lobos committed the crimes in September 2007. These findings are supported by the record.
Mendoza-Lobos was convicted of category A and B felonies. See NRS 193.165(3); NRS 193.330(1)(a)(1); NRS 200.366(2); NRS 200.380(2); NRS 200.471(2)(b); NRS 200.481(2)(e)(1); NRS 205.060. And because he committed them after the effective date of NRS 209.4465(8)(d), see 2007 Nev. Stat., ch. 525, § 22, at 3196, he was precluded from the application of credits to his minimum sentences. We therefore conclude the district court did not err by denying this claim. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
