Percy Lavae BACON, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada; Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners; and Nevada Department of Corrections, Respondents.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying appellant's May 24, 2018, petition for a writ of habeas corpus.1 Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Joanna Kishner, Judge.
Appellant challenged his 2008 parole hearing and claimed that the Parole Board lacked jurisdiction. We conclude that the district court did not err in denying the petition. Appellant's jurisdictional argument is patently without merit as the Parole Board has jurisdiction to consider eligible inmates for parole. NRS 213.1099(1). The State has informed this court that appellant was granted parole from his aggregated sentences on January 30, 2019. Because appellant has already received parole consideration on his aggregate sentences, any claims relating to his first parole hearing in 2008 are moot. See Williams v. Nev., Dep't of Corr., 133 Nev., Adv. Op. 75, 402 P.3d 1260, 1265 n.7 (2017); Niergarth v. Warden, 105 Nev. 26, 29, 768 P.2d 882, 883-84 (1989). Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
