CORNELIUS EUGENE ROGERS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Cornelius Eugene Rogers appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Carolyn Ellsworth, Judge.
In his motion filed on July 31, 2019, Rogers claimed his trial counsel improperly conceded his guilt during the trial and the trial court improperly failed to canvass him to ascertain whether he agreed with counsel's concession strategy. Rogers's claims fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to correct an illegal 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.
