OPINION

Per Curiam:

The district court denied a post-conviction application to modify a criminal sentence since the ‍​​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‍petitioner failed to satisfy any of the preconditions designated by NRS 177.315(1 ).1

Affirmed.

Notes

NRS 177.315(1). “Any person convicted of a crime and under sentence of death or imprisonment who claims that ‍​​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‍the conviction was obtained, or that the sentence was imposed, in violation of the Constitution of the United States or the constitution or laws of this state, or that ‍​​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‍the court was without jurisdiction to impose the sentence, or that the sentence exceeds the maximum authorized by law, or that the conviction or sentence is otherwise subject to ‍​​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‍collateral attack upon any ground of alleged error heretofore available under any common law, statutory or other writ, motion, petition, proceeding or remedy, may, without paying a filing fee, ‍​​​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‍apply for post-conviction relief from the conviction or sentence.” This statute has since been amended.
