ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying appellant William Meza Montes's May 16, 2016, postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Kathy A. Hardcastle, Senior Judge. Montes challenged the computation of time he has served. We affirm.' Montes claimed that the Nevada Department of Corrections is not deducting statutory credits from his minimum sentences pursuant to NRS 209.4465(7)(b). Montes's claim lacks merit. NRS 209.4465(7) begins, "Except as otherwise provided in subsection[ 1 8," and NRS 209.4465(8) specifically excludes offenders convicted of category B felonies from deducting statutory credits from their minimum sentences. Montes's controlling sentence was for a category B felony, see• NRS 453.3385(1)(b),

'This appeal has been submitted for decision on the record without briefing or oral argument. NRAP 34(0(3), (g); see also NRAP 31(d)(1); Luckett u. Warden, 91 Nev. 681, 682, 541 P.2d 910, 911 (1975).
