ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is a proper person appeal from an order of the district court denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Valorie Vega, 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 September 28, 2010, appellant claimed that the district court lacked jurisdiction to sentence him because he was a juvenile at the time of the crime and was not certified to be tried as an adult. Appellant failed to demonstrate that his sentence was facially illegal or that the district court lacked jurisdiction. See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996). We therefore conclude that the district court did not err in denying appellant's motion. As a separate and independent ground to deny relief, we conclude that appellant's claim is without merit. A certification proceeding was not mandated due to the nature of the crime charged. See NRS 62B.330(3)(c). Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
