CLIFFORD STRICKLAND v. THE STATE OF NEVADA (2024)

Court of Appeals of Nevada.

CLIFFORD STRICKLAND, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.

No. 87499-COA

Decided: August 08, 2024

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Clifford Strickland appeals from a district court order denying a “motion to modify or vacate judgment” filed on August 30, 2023. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Michelle Leavitt, Judge.

Strickland contends in his informal brief on appeal that the district court breached the plea agreement by allowing the State to argue for a prison term when it had agreed to not oppose probation and by considering a police report related to new criminal charges that were ultimately dismissed. This claim was not raised below, and we decline to consider it on appeal in the first instance. See State v. Wade, 105 Nev. 206, 209 n.3, 772 P.2d 1291, 1293 n.3 (1989). Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
