Barron-Aguilar (Tito) v. State ( 2015 )


Menu:
  •                 was the source of the drugs. But below, appellant only argued that the
    evidence was Brady material because it was useful for impeaching the
    informant regarding his drug addiction, which had been established. An
    appellant cannot change his theory underlining an assignment of error on
    appeal.   Ford v. Warden, 
    111 Nev. 872
    , 884, 
    901 P.2d 123
    , 130 (1995).
    Moreover, as appellant himself points out, the theory he advances on
    appeal is inconsistent with his testimony at trial, and given that
    testimony, he cannot complain that the evidence was withheld, see United
    States v. Diaz, 
    922 F.2d 998
    , 1007 (2d Cir. 1990) (concluding that Brady
    was not violated where evidence at issue was within the defendant's
    knowledge), or that it was material, see Mazzan v. Warden, 
    116 Nev. 48
    ,
    66, 
    993 P.2d 25
    , 36 (2000).
    Having considered appellant's contentions and concluded that
    they lack merit, we
    ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
