BRANDON SHANE TALBERT, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.

Parraguirre

ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

This is an appeal from a district court order dismissing appellant Brandon Talbert's postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Elliott A. Sattler, Judge.

In his petition, Talbert contended that Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. ___, 132 S. Ct. 2455 (2012), rendered his sentence unconstitutional and provided him with good cause to excuse the untimely filing of his petition. The district court denied his petition, and Talbert appealed. While his appeal was pending, the Legislature enacted A.B. 267. We conclude that A.B. 267 provides Talbert with any relief Miller arguably affords as it makes him parole eligible within his lifetime. See Montgomery v. Louisiana, ___ U.S. ___, 2016 WL 280758, at *14 (Jan. 25, 2016); State v. Boston, 131 Nev., Adv. Op. 98, 363 P.3d 453 (2015). Accordingly, this appeal is moot, see Personhood Nevada v. Bristol, 126 Nev., Adv. Op. 56, 245 P.3d 572, 574 (2010), and we

ORDER this appeal DISMISSED.
