Facts

Procedural History

• [Not applicable or not found]

Parties' Submissions

• Appellant: The Defendant argues that the sentence imposed exceeds the maximum allowable, failing to account for nearly six months of pre-sentence confinement and not properly crediting time served on probation. Furthermore, the Defendant asserts that the prosecutor should have been disqualified due to a conflict of interest stemming from her prior representation of him.
• Appellee: The State, through its response to the Defendant's memorandum in opposition to the proposed summary disposition, maintains that the sentence and the proceedings were lawful and that the prosecutor's involvement was not grounds for disqualification.

Legal Issues

• Whether the sentence imposed by the district court exceeds the maximum allowable sentence and fails to properly credit the Defendant for pre-sentence confinement and time served on probation.
• Whether the prosecutor should have been disqualified due to her prior representation of the Defendant.

Disposition

• The judgment of the district court is affirmed.

Reasons

• Per M. MONICA ZAMORA, with MICHAEL D. BUSTAMANTE and JONATHAN B. SUTIN concurring:
  The Court considered the Defendant's arguments regarding the legality of his sentence and the alleged conflict of interest involving the prosecutor. Regarding the sentence, the Court found that the Defendant's challenge lacked a solid basis for adjustment, noting that the record did not clearly indicate how the district court arrived at the specific sentence duration but suggested that the court had attempted to calculate the sentence with precision (paras 2-3). The Court also noted that the Defendant's concerns about the Department of Corrections not following the district court's directive for crediting time served on probation were speculative and premature, suggesting habeas proceedings as the appropriate avenue for such concerns (para 5).
  On the issue of the prosecutor's disqualification, the Court found no basis for relief, indicating that the Defendant's new factual assertions were not part of the district court record and that habeas proceedings would be the proper avenue for further pursuing this matter (para 6).
