Silva (David) v. State ( 2013 )

  •                 State, 
    112 Nev. 472
    , 475, 
    915 P.2d 282
    , 284 (1996) (internal quotation
    marks omitted); see also Harmelin v. Michigan, 
    501 U.S. 957
    , 1000-01
    (1991) (plurality opinion).
    Appellant does not allege that the district court relied on
    impalpable or highly suspect evidence or that the relevant statutes are
    unconstitutional, and his sentence is within the parameters of the
    applicable statutes.      See NRS 200.366, NRS 201.230, NRS 193.330.
    Appellant admitted to sexually molesting a child, and his sentence is not
    so disproportionate to his criminal acts as to shock the conscience.
    Therefore, we conclude that the imposed sentences do not constitute cruel
    and unusual punishment and the district court did not abuse its
    discretion. Accordingly, we
    ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
