LESTER LEE TELLIS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Lester Lee Tellis appeals from an order of the district court denying a "supplemental motion to modify and/or correct illegal sentence" filed on December 9, 2019. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jacqueline M. Bluth, Judge.
In his motion, Tellis claimed his convictions violated the Double Jeopardy Clause and the district court followed improper procedures in imposing the deadly weapon enhancements. Tellis's claims fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to modify or 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 by denying the motion. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
In his informal brief on appeal, Tellis raises several claims that were not raised in his motion below. We decline to consider these claims on appeal in the first instance. See McNelton v. State, 115 Nev. 396, 416, 990 P.2d 1263, 1276 (1999).
