WALKER v. STATE (2021)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

In his petition, Walker challenged the judgment of conviction in district court case number 97-C146419-2. In response to an order of this court, respondent advises that Walker discharged his sentence in that case on October 5, 2009.¹ Because Walker discharged his sentence prior to filing the instant petition, the petition was not cognizable. Nev. Const. art. 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 denying the petition.² Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.

FOOTNOTES

1.   Good cause appearing, we grant respondent's motion to file late pleading.

2.   Although the district court incorrectly considered whether Walker could overcome procedural bars to the petition, we nevertheless affirm its denial for the reason discussed above. See Wyatt v. State, 86 Nev. 294, 298, 468 P.2d 338, 341 (1970) (holding that a correct result will not be reversed simply because it is based on the wrong reason).
