Syllabus

A district court's decision whether to grant a continuance will not be set aside on appeal absent an abuse of discretion. Appellate review of a criminal sentence is generally limited to whether the defendant was sentenced within the statutory prescribed limits. An objection or motion to the trial court is unnecessary to preserve a claim of illegal sentence imposed in a criminal judgment from which an appeal may be immediately taken.
