ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

This is an appeal from a district court order denying appellant Javier Antonio Najarro's motion to modify his sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Lee A. Gates, Judge.

Najarro contends that the district court abused its discretion by imposing restitution greater than the amount suffered by the victim. Najarro has failed to demonstrate that the district court relied on mistaken assumptions about his criminal record that worked to his extreme detriment, and his claim falls outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to modify a sentence. See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708 & 708–09 n. 2, 918 P.2d 321, 324 & 325 n. 2 (1996). Therefore, we conclude that the district court did not err by denying Najarro's motion, and we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
