JACOB DANIEL HUNT, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Jacob Daniel Hunt appeals from a judgment of conviction entered pursuant to a guilty plea of conspiracy to violate an extended protection order. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Elliott A. Sattler, Judge.
Hunt argues the district court abused its discretion when imposing sentence because his term of 364 days in the county jail was an inappropriate punishment for comments made to the protected party following a court hearing.
We review a district court's sentencing decision for an abuse of discretion. Chavez v. State, 125 Nev. 328, 348, 213 P.3d 476, 490 (2009). We will not interfere with the sentence imposed by the district court "[s]o long as the record does not demonstrate prejudice resulting from consideration of information or accusations founded on facts supported only by impalpable or highly suspect evidence." Silks v. State, 92 Nev. 91, 94, 545 P.2d 1159, 1161 (1976).
Hunt's term of 364 days in the county jail falls within the parameters of the relevant statutes, see NRS 199.480(3); NRS 200.591(1), and Hunt does not allege the district court relied upon impalpable or highly suspect evidence when it imposed the sentence. In addition, the district court's decision to decline Hunt's request for probation was within its discretion. See NRS 176A.100(1)(c). Considering the record before this court, we conclude Hunt fails to demonstrate the district court abused its discretion when imposing sentence. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
