Eduardo CAMACHO, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Eduardo Camacho appeals from an order of the district court denying a motion to modify or correct an illegal sentence filed on September 18, 2020. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Lynne K. Simons, Judge.
In his motion, Camacho claimed his judgment of conviction was illegal because it improperly ordered him to reimburse Washoe County for public defender services and because it ordered him jointly and severally liable with his codefendants for restitution. Camacho's claims fell outside the narrow scope of claims permissible in a motion to modify or correct an illegal sentence. See Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996). 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.1
FOOTNOTES
1. In his informal brief, Camacho argues for the first time that the $500 he was ordered to pay to reimburse Washoe County for public defender services was excessive in light of the fact that the public defender only represented him through his initial arraignment. We decline to consider new argument on appeal. See McNelton v. State, 115 Nev. 396, 416, 990 P.2d 1263, 1276 (1999).
