RICHARD DONTA SATTERFIELD, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.


An unpublished order shall not be regarded as precedent and shall not be cited as legal authority. SCR 123.

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

This is a proper person appeal from an order of the district court denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Abbi Silver, Judge.

This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument, NRAP 34(f)(3), and we conclude that the record is sufficient for our review and briefing is unwarranted. See Luckett v. Warden, 91 Nev. 681, 682, 541 P.2d 910, 911 (1975).

In his motion filed on January 21, 2014, appellant claimed that the deadly weapon enhancement should have been imposed in accordance with the 2007 amendments to NRS 193.165. Appellant failed to demonstrate that his sentence was facially illegal or that the district court lacked jurisdiction. See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996). Appellant committed his offense in 2006, and the 2007 amendments to NRS 193.165 do not apply retroactively. State v. Second Judicial Dist. Court (Pullin), 124 Nev. 564, 571, 188 P.3d 1079, 1083-84 (2008). We therefore conclude that the district court did not err in denying appellant's motion. Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
