Carl L. Mullings, in proper person.

James Uthmeier, Attorney General, and Camilo Montoya, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before SCALES, C.J., and GORDO and LOBREE, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Carl L. Mullings, was convicted in 1982 of multiple counts of armed robbery and sentenced to five consecutive 134-year terms. Mullings challenges the trial court’s order denying his motion for “special consideration” seeking to terminate or modify his sentence to time served to enable his release for deportation. “As an order denying a motion to correct, reduce, or modify a sentence is not appealable, we dismiss the appeal.” Gonzalez-Marham v.
