JUSTIN ALEXANDER RASHAD LARKINS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.


UNPUBLISHED OPINION

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

GIBBONS C. J.

Justin Alexander Rashad Larkins appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion for modification of sentence filed on April 27, 2021. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tierra Danielle Jones, Judge.

Larkins claimed that an error in his presentence investigation report (PSI) worked to his extreme detriment. "[A] motion to modify a sentence is limited in scope to sentences based on mistaken assumptions about a defendant's criminal record which work to the defendant's extreme detriment." Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996).

Larkins alleged that the PSI relied on by the sentencing court lacked specific details of the instant offense. Larkins stipulated to the sentence he received and agreed to use the PSI from a prior case. Larkins thus failed to demonstrate there was an error in the PSI or that the sentencing court relied on mistaken assumptions about his criminal record that worked to his extreme detriment. Therefore, we conclude the district court did not err by denying this claim.

Larkins also raised claims challenging the validity of his judgment of conviction and sentence. These claims were outside the scope of claims permissible in a motion to modify or correct an illegal sentence. See id. Therefore, without considering the merits of these claims, we conclude the district court did not err by denying them. Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
