ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Pigeon argues the district court erred by denying his May 27, 2020, motion and later-filed supplement. In his motion, Pigeon claimed the sentencing court abused its discretion by imposing a sentence of life without the possibility of parole, his sentence constitutes cruel and unusual punishment, the trial-level court erred by granting his request to represent himself, and he was entitled to relief due to cumulative error. Pigeon did not allege that his claims were based on mistaken assumptions about his criminal record that worked to his extreme detriment. Pigeon's claims thus fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to modify sentence. 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.
