JOEL MICHAEL RAKERS, 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An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority.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 denying a motion to modify sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Kathleen E. Delaney, Judge.

On appeal, appellant claims that the district court erred by denying his motion to modify sentence filed on December 9, 2013. He claims the district court was incorrect when it concluded that new facts regarding appellant's mental state did not rise to a due process violation. Appellant fails to demonstrate that the district court relied on mistaken assumptions regarding his criminal record that worked to his extreme detriment, or that his claim constituted a due process violation. See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996); Passanisi v. State, 108 Nev. 318, 322-23, 831 P.2d 1371, 1373-74 (1992). Therefore, we conclude that the district court did not err in denying appellant's motion, and we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
