are not convinced that the district court abused its discretion in ordering
                •   the sentence to run consecutively with his sentence in another case
                    considering the nature of the offenses in each case and his prior criminal
                    history. We decline Karnes's request to adopt a rule requiring the district
                    court to impose concurrent sentences when sentencing a defendant on
                    separate crimes during the same sentencing hearing, or alternatively, a
                    rule requiring the court to articulate the rationale for imposing a
                    consecutive sentence, see Campbell v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court, 114
                    Nev. 410, 414, 957 P.2d 1141, 1143 (1998). Therefore, we
                                  ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
