SHAWN WESLEY GENTRY, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Shawn Wesley Gentry appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion to modify or correct an illegal sentence filed on April 13, 2020. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Egan K. Walker, Judge.
In his motion, Gentry claimed the district court erred by allowing him to plead guilty when it knew it was not going to follow the plea agreement, he received ineffective assistance of counsel, and his plea was not entered knowingly and voluntarily. Gentry's claims fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to modify or 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.
