No. 76308

Decided: July 24, 2019

Las Vegas Defense Group, LLC Attorney General/Las Vegas

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

This is an appeal from a district court order denying a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus or mandamus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Ronald J. Israel, Judge.

Thus, based on Winkle, respondents correctly denied appellant's request to be placed in residential confinement because he was not within one year of parole eligibility. Id. at 493, 269 P.3d at 901. The district court, therefore, correctly denied appellant's writ petition wherein he sought an order directing such placement. Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
