RENARD TRUMAN POLK, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Renard Truman Polk appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Douglas Smith, Judge.
This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument and we conclude the record is sufficient for our review and briefing is unwarranted. NRAP 34(f)(3), (g). --------
In his motion filed on November 4, 2016, Polk claimed an arrest warrant was invalid because it was not supported by probable cause, his conviction violated the Double Jeopardy Clause, his confession was involuntary, he suffered from ineffective assistance of trial and appellate counsel, and a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus was improperly dismissed outside of his presence. Polk'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 any of the claims raised in the motion, we conclude the district court did not err in denying the motion. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
