Mario Jesus Antonaccio, Appellant, v. The State of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Mario Jesus Antonaccio appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion to modify or correct an illegal sentence filed in district court case number 04C199740 (Docket No. 79885-COA) and district court case number 04C204825 (Docket No. 79886-COA).

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
