Nevada Supreme Court

Garcia (Ubaldo) v. State

November 16, 2022

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed the amended judgment vacating the appellant's redundant lewdness convictions without requiring a new sentencing hearing. It held that the district court did not abuse its sentencing discretion, and that the record did not show reliance on improper evidence or that the vacated counts influenced the consecutive sentences. The court also declined to consider claims concerning counsel's performance and the prosecutor's sentencing arguments because they did not arise from the amendments to the judgment.
