LAWRENCE DEAN GREEN, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is an appeal of a judgment of conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea, of two counts of conspiracy to commit theft. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; J. Charles Thompson, Senior Judge.
Appellant Lawrence Dean Green first argues his sentence is cruel and unusual. Green does not demonstrate the relevant sentencing statutes are unconstitutional or that his sentence is so disproportionate so "as to shock the conscience." See Blume v. State, 112 Nev. 472, 475, 915 P.2d 282, 248 (1996) (internal quotation marks omitted). Moreover, Green's sentence of 225 days falls within the parameters of the relevant statutes. See NRS 193.140; NRS 199.480(3); NRS 205.0832(1).
Second, Green argues the district court abused its discretion in sentencing him. We review a district court's sentencing decision for abuse of discretion. See Chavez v. State, 125 Nev. 328, 348, 213 P.3d 476, 490 (2009). Here, Green received the sentence he stipulated to in the guilty plea agreement and Green does not demonstrate the district court abused its discretion in imposing that sentence. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
