VIGNOLO v. STATE (2021)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

Leonard Daniel Vignolo, Sr., appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion to modify or correct an illegal sentence filed on September 21, 2020. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Jerry A. Wiese, Judge.

In his motion, Vignolo claimed his sentence was illegal because the sentencing court lacked jurisdiction to sentence him. Specifically, he alleged that NRS 175.552 required he be sentenced by either the trial jury or a three judge panel. The Nevada Supreme Court has already considered and rejected this claim. See Vignolo v. State, Docket No. 44085 (Order of Affirmance, January 25, 2005). Therefore, we conclude the district court did not err by concluding that Vignolo's claim was barred by the doctrine of law of the case, which cannot be avoided by a more detailed and precisely focused argument. See Hall v. State, 91 Nev. 314, 315-16, 535 P.2d 797, 798-99 (1975). Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
