Supreme Court of Nevada.

June 25, 1976.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Wiener, Goldwater, Galatz & Waldman, Ltd., Las Vegas, for appellant.

Robert List, Atty. Gen., Carson City, George E. Holt, Dist. Atty., H. Leon Simon, Chief Deputy Dist. Atty., Rimantas A. Rukstele, Deputy Dist. Atty., Las Vegas, for respondent.

OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Convicted by jury of first and second degree murder, appellant contends the district court erred (1) by admitting a statement appellant made prior to receiving Miranda warnings, (2) by not giving an instruction limiting the statement's use to impeachment, and (3) by instructing that self-defense may not be contrived. These contentions are without merit.
