DONTE DEVON JENKINS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
cc: Travis E. Shetler Attorney General/Carson City Clark County District Attorney Eighth District Court Clerk
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Donte Devon Jenkins appeals from a judgment of conviction for the crime of preventing or dissuading witness from testifying or producing evidence entered pursuant to a jury verdict. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Kathleen E. Delaney, Judge.
Judge James Bixler conducted the sentencing hearing.
The State charged Jenkins with battery constituting domestic violence, a felony, and preventing or dissuading witness from testifying or producing evidence, a gross misdemeanor. A jury convicted him of the gross misdemeanor, but deadlocked on the battery charge.
The district court declared a mistrial as to the battery charge. --------
On appeal, Jenkins urges this court to reverse his gross misdemeanor conviction, claiming that the jury's verdict finding him guilty of only the gross misdemeanor is inconsistent. Jenkins provides neither cogent argument nor relevant authority to support his assertion on appeal, and we therefore do not consider it. See Maresca v. State, 103 Nev. 669, 673, 748 P.2d 3, 6 (1987) ("It is appellant's responsibility to present relevant authority and cogent argument; issues not so presented need not be addressed by this court."). Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
