JOHN STEVEN OLAUSEN, 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An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority.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 from an order of the district court denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Connie J. Steinheimer, Judge.
This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument, NRAP 34(f)(3), and we conclude that the record is sufficient for our review and briefing is unwarranted. See Luckett v. Warden, 91 Nev. 681, 682, 541 P.2d 910, 911 (1975).
In his motion filed on April 23, 2014, appellant asserted that he was improperly sentenced by a three-judge panel. Appellant's claims fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to correct an illegal sentence. See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996). Therefore, without considering the merits of appellant's claims, we conclude that the district court did not err in denying the motion. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
