LAMARR ROWELL, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.


ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

This is an appeal from a district court order denying a motion to vacate a judgment of conviction and guilty plea. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Elissa F. Cadish, Judge.

This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument and we conclude the record is sufficient for our review and briefing is unwarranted. NRAP 34(f)(3), (g).

In his motion to vacate judgment of conviction and guilty plea filed on August 14, 2015, appellant Lamarr Rowell argued his conviction and guilty plea were "legally invalid and unconstitutionally obtained." We conclude from our review of the record on appeal that the district court's decision to deny Rowell's motion produced the correct result. See generally Trujillo v. State, 129 Nev. ___, ___, 310 P.3d 594, 600-02 (2013) (Explaining postconviction habeas relief is only available to petitioners who are in custody for the conviction being challenged, a writ of coram nobis may be available to petitioners who are no longer in custody, but "any error that was reasonably available to be raised while the petitioner was in custody is waived."). Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.

We have reviewed all documents Rowell has submitted in this matter, and we conclude no relief based upon those submissions is warranted. --------
