ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Adon Banks appeals from a judgment of conviction entered pursuant to a jury verdict of two counts of conspiracy to commit burglary, four counts of burglary, two counts of grand larceny, and burglary while in possession of a deadly weapon. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Douglas Smith, Judge.

First, Banks argues the district court committed plain error by failing to instruct the jury regarding duress and voluntary intoxication. However, the record demonstrates the district court instructed the jury concerning both issues. Therefore, Banks is not entitled to relief based upon this claim.

Second, Banks appears to argue there was insufficient evidence to support the jury’s finding of guilt. However, Banks does not provide any argument concerning this issue, and we thus decline to address it. See Maresca v. State, 103 Nev. 669, 673, 748 P.2d 3, 6 (1987) ("It is appellant’s responsibility to present relevant authority and cogent argument; issues not so presented need not be addressed by this court.") Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
