KEITH ARLANDO BURWELL, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Keith Arlando Burwell appeals from a district court order denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on September 3, 2019. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Cristina D. Silva, Judge.
Burwell claimed he was falsely imprisoned as a result of a witness's false and misleading statements, he was defamed by the witness's false statements, and he was the victim of false and malicious prosecution. We conclude the district court did not err by rejecting these claims because they fell outside the scope of claims permissible in a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus that challenges a judgment of conviction that was based on a guilty plea. See NRS 34.810(1)(a). Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
