DEMETRI LAMAR ALEXANDER, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.


ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Demetri Alexander appeals from an order of the district court denying the motion to modify or correct an illegal sentence he filed on May 13, 2016. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Valerie Adair, Judge.

This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument. NRAP 34(f)(3). --------

In his motion, Alexander claimed he did not receive his presentence credits, the Nevada Department of Corrections is not computing his sentence correctly, the district court erred by sentencing him as a habitual criminal, and the State breached the plea agreement. Alexander's claims fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to modify or correct an illegal sentence. See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996). Therefore, without considering the merits of any of the claims raised in the motion, we conclude the district court did not err in denying the motion. Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
