LEE DAVIDSON, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is an appeal from an order of the district court denying a motion to modify sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Elizabeth Goff Gonzalez, Judge.
This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument, NRAP 34(f)(3), and we conclude the record is sufficient for our review and briefing is unwarranted. See Luckett v. Warden, 91 Nev. 681, 682, 541 P.2d 910, 911 (1975).
In his motion filed on March 3, 2015, appellant Lee Davidson challenged his habitual criminal adjudication arguing the district court did not understand it could dismiss a count of habitual criminal and arguing the certified copies of his prior convictions were not filed with the district court. Davidson also claimed his sentences should not be consecutive because his convictions arose out of the same transaction. Davidson's claims fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to modify or correct an illegal 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 in denying the motion. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
We have reviewed all documents Davidson has submitted in this matter, and we conclude no relief based upon those submissions is warranted. To the extent Davidson has attempted to present claims or facts in those submissions which were not previously presented in the proceedings below, we decline to consider them in the first instance. --------
