FORREST KENT CROMWELL v. THE STATE OF NEVADA (2025)

ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

This is an appeal under NRAP 4(c) from a judgment of conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea, of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or a controlled or prohibited substance, above the legal limit, resulting in substantial bodily harm. Second Judicial District Court, Washoe County; Kathleen A. Sigurdson, Judge.

Appellant Forrest Cromwell argues that the district court erred in denying a post-sentencing motion to withdraw the guilty plea. Cromwell also argues that the district court erred in rejecting ineffective-assistance claims raised in a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Those rulings by the district court, however, are not properly before this court because this appeal is from the judgment of conviction only. Notably, Cromwell has separately appealed from the district court order denying the postconviction habeas petition and may challenge the district court's ruling on the ineffective-assistance claims in that appeal. Cromwell v. State, Docket No. 90426-COA. Accordingly, we decline to address these arguments, and we

ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
