Karnes (Anthony) v. State

• Court: Nevada Supreme Court
• Decided: July 22, 2014
• Docket: 65068
• Status: Unpublished

Opinion

are not convinced that the district court abused its discretion in ordering • the sentence to run consecutively with his sentence in another case considering the nature of the offenses in each case and his prior criminal history. We decline Karnes's request to adopt a rule requiring the district court to impose concurrent sentences when sentencing a defendant on separate crimes during the same sentencing hearing, or alternatively, a rule requiring the court to articulate the rationale for imposing a consecutive sentence, see Campbell v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 114 Nev. 410, 414, 957 P.2d 1141, 1143 (1998). Therefore, we ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
