ANTONIO MODALE CASTILLO, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.


ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Antonio Modale Castillo appeals from a district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on March 21, 2017. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Richard Scotti, Judge.

This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument and we conclude the record is sufficient for our review and briefing is unwarranted. NRAP 34(f)(3), (g). --------

Castillo claimed, without any elaboration whatsoever, he received ineffective assistance of counsel in violation of the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments and his due process rights were violated. The district court found Castillo failed "to allege any facts which, if accepted as true, would raise any issue affecting his substantial rights." The district court's finding is supported by the record, and we conclude the district court did not err by denying Castillo's postconviction habeas petition without appointing postconviction counsel. See NRS 34.750(1); Renteria-Novoa v. State, 133 Nev. ___, ___, 391 P.3d 760, 760-61 (2017); Hargrove v. State, 100 Nev. 498, 502-03, 686 P.2d 222, 225 (1984). Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
