JASON HILLIARD, A/K/A MATTHEW DEAN GOODNER, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Jason Hilliard appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; David M. Jones, Judge.
In his motion filed on May 14, 2019, Hilliard claimed the sentencing court erred by imposing consecutive sentences because his offenses arose out of the same transaction. Hilliard's claim fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to correct an illegal sentence. See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996). Therefore, without considering the merits of Hilliard's claim, we conclude the district court did not err by denying the motion. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
