My husband was sentenced 12 months ''flat time'' in the clark county detention center in NV, and is currently incarcerated. In the state of NV there is a law against ''flat time'' sentences.

Re: filing a motion
The Motion that was filed in the recently-decided Haney case, which found flat-time sentences to be unlawful, was a "Motion to Correct Illegal Sentence".
The Opinion of the Nevada Supreme Court is found here:

According to the Clark County website:
http://www.clarkcountycourts.us/clerk/document-prep.html
For assistance in completing criminal documents call the Criminal Records Division . . ."
The Supreme Court and/or District Court file would contain the actual Motion filed by Mr. Haney.
Your attorney can explain further.
