Robert Lee TAYLOR, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Robert Lee Taylor appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion for modification of sentence filed on October 15, 2019. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Valerie Adair, Judge.

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
