Brandyn William GAYLER, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
This is a pro se appeal from a district court order denying a motion to modify sentence.1 Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Eric Johnson, Judge.
Appellant argued that his sentence should be modified because the district court acknowledged that the sentence imposed was longer than it would have been had appellant not first been placed on probation. Appellant also challenged the decision to revoke his probation. Because appellant did not demonstrate that the sentencing court relied on mistaken assumptions regarding his criminal record that worked to his extreme detriment, see Edwards v. State, 112 Nev. 704, 708, 918 P.2d 321, 324 (1996), we conclude that the district court did not err in denying appellant's May 22, 2018, motion. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
