recommended by the Division of Parole and Probation, we conclude that his claim is without merit because a district court does not abuse its discretion by imposing a sentence in excess of that suggested by the Division. See Collins v. State, 88 Nev. 168, 171, 494 P.2d 956, 957 (1972).

Having concluded that Johnson is not entitled to relief, we ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
