Boss (Terril) v. State

Second, Boss argues that the district court abused its discretion and usurped the authority of the parole board by imposing the maximum sentence provided by the relevant statutes. Boss does not allege that the statues fixing punishment are unconstitutional, see Blume v. State, 112 Nev. 472, 475, 915 P.2d 282, 284 (1996), and his consecutive terms of 24-60 months for being a felon in possession of a firearm, 48-120 months for burglary, and 24-60 months for eluding a police officer, fall within the parameters authorized by the relevant statutes, see NRS 202.360(1), NRS 205.060(2), NRS 484.348(3)(b). We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion at sentencing. Houk v. State, 103 Nev. 659, 664, 747 P.2d 1376, 1379 (1987).

Having considered Boss' contentions and concluded that they are without merit, we

ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
