AFSHIN BAHRAMPOUR, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Afshin Bahrampour appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered pursuant to an Alford 1 plea, of making threats or conveying false information concerning an act of terrorism and three counts of third-degree arson. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Christy L. Craig, Judge.
Bahrampour argues that NRS 202.448 and NRS 202.4415 are unconstitutional. The State argues, and Bahrampour does not dispute, that Bahrampour unconditionally waived his right to appeal as part of his plea agreement. Bahrampour does not argue that his plea was not made knowingly and voluntarily, that his claim is outside the scope of the waiver, that he reserved the right to raise the issue on appeal, or that denying him the right to appeal would work a miscarriage of justice. Therefore, we conclude Bahrampour's claim is waived. See Burns v. State, 137 Nev. 494, 499-500, 495 P.3d 1091, 1099-1100 (2021). Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
