1Per curiam

Appellant-defendant seeks review of the district court’s order denying his motion to reduce sentence under Rule 36, 1 Wyoming Rules of Criminal Procedure. Defendant asserts as errors, (1) the district court imposed a second increased sentence after a previously imposed sentence had commenced in violation of defendant’s rights under the double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution; and (2) the district court abused its discretion under the circumstances of this case by denying defendant’s motion for sentence reduction. We will affirm.
