IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEVADA

AMBER MICHEL WOFFORD, No. 76133 Appellant, vs. DWIGHT NEVEN, WARDEN, FLORENCE MCCLURE WOMEN'S FILED CORRECTIONAL FACILITY; AND JAMES DZURENDA, DIRECTOR, JUL 2 4 2099 NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF ELIZABETA A. 15ROIAN CLERK OF SUCTEME COURT CORRECTIONS, Res • ondents.

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; Timothy C. Williams, Judge. Having considered the parties arguments and the record, we are not persuaded that our decision in Winkle v. Foster, 127 Nev. 488, 269 P.3d 898 (2011), warrants revisiting. Thus, based on Winkle, respondents correctly denied appellant's request to be placed in residential confinement because she 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 she sought an order directing such placement. Accordingly, we ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
