NESANET ABERA GELMESSA, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea, of trafficking in a controlled substance. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Elizabeth Goff Gonzalez, Judge.
Appellant Nesanet Abera Gelmessa raises several claims challenging the legality of the search of his vehicle. Gelmessa did not expressly reserve these issues for appeal when he pleaded guilty and, thus, waived his right to raise these issues on appeal. See NRS 174.035(3); Webb v. State, 91 Nev. 469, 470, 538 P.2d 164, 165 (1975) (the entry of a guilty plea generally waives any right to appeal from events occurring prior to the entry of the plea). We therefore decline to consider these claims on appeal. Because no other issues are raised for our consideration, we
ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
