ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea, of second-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon and battery with the use of a deadly weapon causing substantial bodily harm. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, Judge.
Appellant Marc Cardona claims that the district court erred when it denied his motion to substitute counsel. By pleading guilty, Cardona waived any challenge to the district court's denial of his motion, which occurred prior to the entry of the plea. Webb v. State, 91 Nev. 469, 470, 538 P.2d 164, 165 (1975). Additionally, there is no indication in the record that Cardona expressly preserved this issue for review on appeal. See NRS 174.035(3).
To the extent that Cardona makes a cursory claim that the plea must be set aside because he “did not make a factual statement constituting admission to the charge,” such an assertion is belied by the record.
Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
