EDWARD ELRY MORRISON, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is a proper person appeal from an order denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Valerie Adair, Judge.
This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument, NRAP 34(f)(3), and we conclude that the record is sufficient for our review and briefing is unwarranted. See Luckett v. Warden, 91 Nev. 681, 682, 541 P.2d 910, 911 (1975).
In his motion filed on August 14, 2013, appellant claimed that the charging information was inadequate and did not provide him notice of the possibility of large habitual criminal adjudication for the burglary count. Appellant raised a nearly identical claim in a prior motion to correct an illegal sentence, and this court determined that the claim was outside the scope of claims permissible in a motion to correct an illegal sentence. See Morrison v. State, Docket No. 52936 (Order of Affirmance, July 7, 2009). The doctrine of the law of the case prevents further litigation of this issue. See Hall v. State, 91 Nev. 314, 535 P.2d 797 (1975). Therefore, without considering the merits of any of the claims raised in the motion, we conclude that the district court did not err in denying the motion. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
