523 P.3d 583 (Nev. App. 2023)

Opinion

No. 85079-COA

01-13-2023

Eric Scott BURDETT, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.


ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Burdett argues the State breached the guilty plea agreement by implicitly arguing for a harsher sentence than that contemplated in the agreement. Burdett did not object to the State's comments at the sentencing hearing below, and he does not argue on appeal that it was plain error. We thus conclude he has forfeited this claim, and we decline to review it on appeal. See Jeremias v. State, 134 Nev. 46, 50, 412 P.3d 43, 48 (2018) ; Sullivan v. State, 115 Nev. 383, 387 & n.3, 990 P.2d 1258, 1260 & n.3 (1999) (noting that plain-error review applies to an unpreserved claim that the State breached the plea agreement); see also Miller v. State, 121 Nev. 92, 99, 110 P.3d 53, 58 (2005) (stating it is the appellant's burden to demonstrate plain error). Accordingly, we decline to consider Burdett's claim on appeal in the first instance, and we

ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
