parameters provided by the relevant statutes, see NRS 484C.110(1); NRS
484C.410(1), and appellant does not allege that those statutes are
unconstitutional. We are not convinced that the sentence imposed is so
grossly disproportionate to the crime as to constitute cruel and unusual
punishment.
To the extent appellant argues that the district court abused
its discretion in sentencing him, we disagree. See generally Houk v. State,
103 Nev. 659, 664, 747 P.2d 1376, 1379 (1987) ("The sentencing judge has
wide discretion in imposing a sentence . . . ."). This court will refrain from
interfering with the sentence imposed "[s] o long as the record does not
demonstrate prejudice resulting from consideration of information or
accusations founded on facts supported only by impalpable or highly
suspect evidence." Silks v. State, 92 Nev. 91, 94, 545 P.2d 1159, 1161
(1976). Appellant does not allege that the district court relied on
impalpable or highly suspect evidence. Considering appellant's three prior
felonies, we are not convinced that the district court abused its discretion.
Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
