William John CONNORS, III, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
William John Connors, III, appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Eric Johnson, Judge.
In his motion filed on May 28, 2019, Connors claimed the sentencing court erred by imposing the special sentence of lifetime supervision without making a finding that he was dangerous with a high risk of recidivism.

Connors’ claims fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to correct an illegal sentence. See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996). Therefore, without considering the merits of any of the claims raised in the motion, we conclude the district court did not err by denying the motion. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
