COREY JOHNSON v. CALVIN JOHNSON WARDEN (2022)

Court of Appeals of Nevada.

COREY B. JOHNSON, Appellant, v. CALVIN JOHNSON, WARDEN, Respondent.

No. 84855-COA

Decided: December 22, 2022

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Corey B. Johnson appeals from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Erika D. Ballou, Judge.

In his February 24, 2022, petition, Johnson asserted his due process rights were violated during a prison disciplinary hearing that resulted in a finding of guilt of MJ6 (escape). The district court found Johnson did not lose any credits and he merely challenged the conditions of his confinement. The record supports the district court's findings. The respondent provided evidence demonstrating Johnson had not forfeited credits as a result of the disciplinary hearing but rather only lost phone and canteen privileges. Thus, Johnson s claims were not cognizable in a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. See Bowen v. Warden, 100 Nev. 489, 490, 686 P.2d 250, 250 (1984). Accordingly, we conclude the district court did not err in denying the petition, and we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
