WILLIAM RIVERA, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.


ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

William Rivera appeals from a district court order denying a motion for sentence modification filed on September 16, 2019. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Eric Johnson, Judge.

In his motion, Rivera claimed the district court should resentence him in light of his youth and that he now has a stable residence and full-time employment. Rivera's claims fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to modify a 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 by denying the motion. Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
