2017 ND 273
    STATE of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Juan Manuel PALACIO, III, Defendant and Appellant
    Nos. 20170180 and 20170181
    Supreme Court of North Dakota.
    Filed 12/7/2017
    James A. Hope, Assistant State’s Attorney, Dickinson, ND, for plaintiff and appel-lee; submitted on brief.
    Samuel A. Gereszek, East Grand Forks, MN, for defendant and appellant; submitted on brief.
   Per Curiam.

[¶ 1] Juan Manuel Palacio III appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of possession of drug paraphernalia and criminal conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance. Palacio argues the state presented insufficient evidence to uphold the jury’s verdict. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7). State v. Gray, 2017 ND 108, ¶¶ 15-16, 893 N.W.2d 484 (affirming judgment where appellant failed to provide a trial transcript on appeal, making it “impossible for this Court to conduct a meaningful and intelligent review” whether the defendant preserved for appeal the issue of insufficiency of the evidence or whether sufficient evidence supported the verdict).
