ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Lausteveion Delano Johnson appeals from an order of the district court denying the motion to modify sentence filed on September 8, 2017.¹ Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, Judge.

1 This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument. NRAP 34(f)(3). --------

In his motion, Johnson claimed his sentence should be modified because of changes in the law regarding the parole board. Johnson's claims fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to modify. 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 by denying the motion. Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
