David CISNEROS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction, pursuant to a guilty plea, of conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Douglas W. Herndon, Judge.
Appellant's sole argument on appeal is that the district court erred in denying his motion to disqualify the district attorney's office. Appellant entered into a guilty plea after the district court denied his motion to disqualify. Because he expressly waived the right to appeal his judgment of conviction in the written plea agreement and did not reserve in writing the right to challenge the denial of the motion, he waived his right to raise this issue on appeal. See NRS 174.035(3); see also Webb v. State, 91 Nev. 469, 470, 538 P.2d 164, 165 (1975) (stating the entry of a guilty plea generally waives any right to appeal from events occurring prior to the entry of the plea). We therefore decline to consider this claim, and we
ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
