ALEXANDER SEVIER, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Alexander Sevier appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered pursuant to a guilty plea, of robbery. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Joseph Hardy, Jr., Judge.
Sevier argues he is entitled to presentence credits for time he spent in confinement prior to being convicted in this case. Sevier committed the crime underlying the instant conviction while on parole from another conviction. Because Sevier was on parole during the commission of the crime, he is not entitled to presentence credits in the instant case. See NRS 176.055(2)(b); Gaines v. State, 116 Nev. 359, 364, 998 P.2d 166, 169 (2000). Therefore, we conclude the district court did not err by refusing to impose presentence credits for the time Sevier spent in confinement prior to conviction. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
