ANTHONY CLARKE, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
UNPUBLISHED OPINION
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
GIBBONS C.J.
Anthony Clarke appeals from a district court order denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence filed on October 20, 2021. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; David A. Hardy, Judge.
Clarke's motion was labeled "Declaration of Anthony Clarke." Clarke clarified in his November 2, 2021, request for submission of motion that the declaration was intended to be a motion to correct an illegal sentence, and the district court treated it as such.
In his motion, Clarke claimed his judgment of conviction was void. Clarke's claims 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 any of the claims raised in the motion, we conclude the district court did not err by denying the motion. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
TAO J., Bulla J.
Hon. David A. Hardy, District Judge.
