ANTHONY BUTLER, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondeat.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Anthony Butler appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion to modify sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Valerie Adair, Judge.
In his motion filed on July 31, 2018, Butler requested modification of his sentence because he was young when he committed the offenses, was mentally unstable, and did not understand the court proceedings or the consequences of his guilty plea. Butler's claims fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to modify 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.
