Kenneth Maurice GRANT, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Kenneth Maurice Grant appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion for a new trial and/or motion for modification of sentence filed on January 31, 2020. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Tierra Danielle Jones, Judge.
In his motion, Grant claimed his conviction was obtained in violation of Moore v. State, 117 Nev. 659, 27 P.3d 447 (2001), and Sharma v. State, 118 Nev. 648, 56 P.3d 868 (2002). Grant's claims fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to modify a sentence. See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996). Further, Grant filed his motion outside the narrow seven-day time period for filing a motion for new trial. See NRS 176.515(4). 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.
