TAURUS BRANNER, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is an appeal from a district court order denying a motion to reconsider or modify sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; William D. Kephart, Judge.
Appellant Taurus Branner claims the district court abused its discretion by denying his motion to reconsider or modify his sentence. In his motion, Branner alleged that his sentence was disproportionate to the sentences received by his two co-defendants in light of their conduct with respect to the victim. Branner's claim fell outside the narrow 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, without considering the merits of the claim 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.
