PRESSLER v. NARVAIZA (2020)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Pressler claims the district court erred by dismissing his petition because he was deprived of effective assistance of counsel. However, Pressler filed his petition after he completed his sentence, and habeas relief is only available to petitioners who have not completed their sentence. See Nev. Const. 6, § 6(1); NRS 34.724(1); Jackson v. State, 115 Nev. 21, 23, 973 P.2d 241, 242 (1999). Therefore, we conclude the district court did not err by dismissing Pressler's petition, and we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.¹
