ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is an appeal from an order of the district court denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Patrick Flanagan, Judge.
This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument, NRAP 34(f)(3), and we conclude the record is sufficient for our review and briefing is unwarranted. See Luckett v. Warden, 91 Nev. 681, 682, 541 P.2d 910, 911 (1975).
In his motion filed on February 6, 2015, appellant Federico Caldera asserts his counsel told him he would receive concurrent sentences, but the district court instead sentenced him to serve consecutive terms. Caldera accordingly requests a new sentencing hearing. Caldera's claim fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to correct an illegal sentence. See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996). Therefore, without considering the merits of Caldera's claim, we conclude the district court did not err in denying the motion. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
