Garcia (jonathan) v. State

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s denial of a motion to correct an illegal sentence, holding that NRS 213.12135(1)(a) provides parole eligibility by operation of law and does not require amendment of the judgment of conviction or resentencing. The Court reasoned that the statute’s plain language applies to the aggregate term and that the sentence is not illegal because it complies with the applicable sentencing statutes.
