ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction, pursuant to a jury verdict, of two counts of battery with the use of a deadly weapon with substantial bodily harm and one count each of conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery with the use of a deadly weapon. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Elissa F. Cadish, Judge.

Appellant Jesus Delatorre's sole contention on appeal is that the district court abused its discretion by denying his motion in limine to exclude evidence of one of the victims' pregnancy. See NRS 48.015 ; NRS 48.035(1). We conclude that Delatorre has failed to demonstrate that the district court abused its discretion by denying the motion in limine, especially in light of the fact that the district court determined that the pictures of the victim's wounds depicted her pregnancy and were admissible, and Delatorre did not challenge those determinations on appeal or provide this court with the photographs. See Whisler v. State, 121 Nev. 401, 406, 116 P .3d 59, 62 (2005). Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.

Although we filed the appendix submitted by Delatorre, it fails to comply with the Nevada Rules of Appellate Procedure because it is not paginated sequentially. See NRAP 3C(e)(2)(C) ; NRAP 30(c)(1). Counsel for Delatorre is cautioned that failure to comply with appendix requirements may result in it being returned, unfiled, to be correctly prepared, see NRAP 32(e), and in the imposition of sanctions, see NRAP 3C(n).
