WILBURT HICKMAN, JR., A/K/A WILLIAM HICKS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
UNPUBLISHED OPINION
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
GIBBONS C.J.
Wilburt Hickman, Jr., appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion to modify and/or correct an illegal sentence filed on March 10, 2022. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jasmin D. Lilly-Spells, Judge.
Hickman argues the district court erred by denying his motion to modify and/or correct an illegal sentence. In his motion, Hickman claimed the recent amendments to the habitual criminal statute, NRS 207.010, should be applied to him retroactively. Hickman's claim 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 Hickman's claim, we conclude the district court did not err by denying the motion. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
