Text: We conclude sections 124.413 and 901.12 serve to reduce the minimum period of confinement for specific criminal drug offenses. A 5“A person serving a sentence pursuant to section 124.401, subsection 1, paragraph “b” or “c”, shall be denied parole or work release . . . until the person has served between one-half of the minimum term of confinement prescribed in subsection 1 . . . .” 6“[A] person whose sentence commenced prior to July 1, 2016, for a conviction under section 124.401, subsection 1, paragraph “b” or “c”. . . shall first be eligible for parole or work release after the person has served one-half of the minimum term of confinement prescribed in section 124.413.” 11 person serving a sentence pursuant to a firearm-enhancement conviction is not eligible for the one-half reduction. Because Lozano Campuzano was convicted and sentenced pursuant to section 124.401, paragraph (b), as well as the firearm enhancement pursuant to section 124.401(1), paragraph (e), his minimum period of confinement is not eligible for the one-half reduction. Consequently, the district court properly applied the law, and we must annul the writ. WRIT ANNULLED.
