EDILFREDO CHAVEZ, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL
This is a pro se notice of appeal from a second amended judgment of conviction. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Bita Yeager, Judge.
On October 20, 2022, appellant filed a motion to amend judgment of conviction to include jail time credits. The district court granted the motion and entered a second amended judgment of conviction increasing appellant's credit for time served from 695 days to 712 days. Appellant then filed a notice of appeal from the district court's order.
In this appeal, appellant may only raise issues involving the amendment to the judgment of conviction. See Jackson v. State, 133 Nev. 880, 882, 410 P.3d 1004. 1006 (Ct. App. 2017). The district court awarded appellant the relief he sought and amended the judgment of conviction in his favor. Thus, appellant is not aggrieved by the challenged judgment, and he may not appeal. See NRS 177.015 (discussing that only an aggrieved party in a criminal action may appeal to this court). Accordingly, this court
ORDERS this appeal DISMISSED.
