JACKSON v. STATE (2020)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Cliff Stevenson Jackson appeals from a district court order denying a motion for modification of sentence. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Ronald J. Israel. Judge.

Jackson asserts the district court erred by denying his motion. He asserts the Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) is improperly implementing his sentencing structure. The district court found it had already resolved this claim in Jackson’s prior motion for clarification of sentence and that NDOC is interpreting his judgment of conviction properly. The district court concluded Jackson was prevented from re-raising the claim, and it denied the motion.

Jacksons claim did not allege the district court imposed his sentence “based on mistaken assumptions about [his] criminal record which work[ed] to [his] extreme detriment.” Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996). Therefore, his claim fell outside the narrow scope of claims that may be raised in a motion to modify sentence and the motion was subject to summary dismissal. See id. at 708 n.2, 918 P.2d at 325 n.2. We conclude the district court reached the correct result by denying Jackson’s motion, see Wyatt v. State, 86 Nev. 294, 298, 468 P.2d 338, 341 (1970), and we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
