Washoe County District Attorney

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Carlos Ruiz appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion to modify sentence. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Lynne K. Simons, Judge.

Ruiz argues the district court erred by denying his June 20, 2019, motion. In his motion, Ruiz claimed that he should not have been sentenced pursuant to the deadly weapon enhancement because he did not know his codefendant intended to kill the victim with a knife. Ruiz claim 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 Ruiz’ claim, we conclude the district court did not err by denying the motion. Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
