Appellant claimed that he had good cause if he "pass fed] the
deadline by a couple of days" because he was in administrative
segregation, did not have physical access to the law library, and had to
rely on law clerks to come to his unit. Appellant failed to demonstrate
cause for the delay. Appellant failed to state how long he was in
administrative segregation or to demonstrate that the prison failed to
provide him adequate means of accessing legal research materials or the
mail. Moreover, appellant could not have demonstrated undue prejudice
because his claims were not supported by specific factual allegations that,
even if true and not repelled by the record, would have entitled him to
relief See Hargrove IT. State, 100 Nev. 498, 502, 686 P.2d 222, 225 (1984).
Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED. 2
2 The district court improperly reached the merits of appellant's
claims. See State v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court (Riker), 121 Nev. 225,
231, 112 P.3d 1070, 1074 (2005) ("Application of the statutory
procedural default rules to post-conviction habeas petitions is
mandatory."). We nevertheless affirm the district court's decision for the
reasons stated above. 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).
