Michael Demar JINGLES, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
Michael Demar Jingles Attorney General/Carson City Washoe County District Attorney
Michael Demar Jingles
Attorney General/Carson City
Washoe County District Attorney
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
In his motion, Jingles claimed he was entitled to relief because a statement in the judgment of conviction indicated judicial bias. Jingles’ claim fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion for modification of sentence. See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996). Therefore, without considering the merits of the claim raised in the motion, we conclude the district court did not err by denying the motion. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
To the extent Jingles raises new arguments in his informal brief, we decline to consider them on appeal in the first instance. See McNelton v. State, 115 Nev. 396, 415-16, 990 P.2d 1263, 1275-76 (1999).
