ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea, of possession of a controlled substance. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Connie J. Steinheimer, Judge.
The sole issue on appeal is whether the district court abused its discretion by ordering appellant to serve his sentence consecutively to his sentence in another drug-related case because serving consecutive sentences will hamper any effort to overcome his drug addiction. We have consistently afforded the district court broad discretion in its sentencing decisions, see Houk v. State, 103 Nev. 659, 664, 747 P.2d 1376, 1379 (1987), including the discretion to impose consecutive sentences, see NRS 176.035(1). Because appellant fails to demonstrate that the district court abused its discretion in this regard, we
ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
