HALPIN v. GITTERE (2021)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Halpin challenged the computation of time served. He acknowledged that he had not first exhausted his administrative remedies as required by NRS 34.810(4), but he claimed Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) staff hindered inmates’ opportunities to exhaust administrative remedies. In support, he pointed to an email encouraging NDOC staff “not [to] hand out grievances at the drop of a hat” but to first discuss the grievance with the inmate. Halpin's evidence does not demonstrate he was unable to access the grievance process to exhaust available administrative remedies. Accordingly, we conclude the district court did not err by denying the petition, and we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
