Lopez (Juan) v. State

Opinion

State, 116 Nev. 558, 563-64, 1 P.3d 969, 972 (2000). Therefore, the district court did not err in denying this portion of the motion.

To the extent that appellant sought to modify his sentence, appellant's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel was outside the scope of claims permissible in a motion to modify sentence. See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996). Therefore, the district court did not err in denying this portion of the motion.

Having concluded that appellant is not entitled to relief, we ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
