Supreme Court of Nevada.

November 21, 2007.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Before the Court En Banc.

OPINION

By the court, PARRAGUIRRE, J.:

In this appeal, we consider whether Nevada's double jeopardy protections prohibit increasing a defendant's sentence after the defendant's conviction has been partially vacated on appeal. We first considered a similar issue in Dolby v. State, where we held: "When a court is forced to vacate an unlawful sentence on one count, the court may not increase a lawful sentence on a separate count."
