Samantha Marie GRAHAM, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Graham argues the district court abused its discretion by amending the judgment of conviction to extend the term of her formal probation from 14 days to 12 months and ordering her to complete mental health court. Graham stipulated to the district court amending the judgment of conviction and thus waived the right to raise this issue. See Ford v. State, 122 Nev. 796, 805, 138 P.3d 500, 506 (2006) (recognizing that a waiver is an intentional relinquishment of a known right). Therefore, we decline to consider this issue on appeal.
Graham also argues the district court improperly negotiated with her in violation of Cripps v. State, 122 Nev. 764, 137 P.3d 1187 (2006). The record before this court does not reflect that the district court engaged in any negotiations prior to the plea agreement. See Cripps, 122 Nev. at 771 n.24, 137 P.3d at 1191 n.24 (prohibiting “judicial involvement and discussion during the plea negotiation process prior to any agreement between the parties”). Therefore, we conclude Graham's claim is without merit, and we
ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
