Defuria (Joseph) v. State
Defuria (Joseph) v. State
Opinion
not under a sentence of death or imprisonment as required by NRS 34.724.
See Coleman v. State, 130 Nev. , , 321 P.3d 863, 867 (2014).
Therefore, because Defuria did not meet the imprisonment requirement of NRS 34.724, he was not eligible for post-conviction habeas relief. See id. For this reason, we affirm the decision of the district court to deny the petition. 2 Accordingly, we ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.

2 Although the district court incorrectly addressed the procedural bars and merits of the claims, we nevertheless affirm because the district court reached the correct result in denying the petition. 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).
