IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2013 ND 230 State of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Kevin Leonard Kippen, Defendant and Appellant Nos. 20130239 & 20130263 Appeal from the District Court of Bottineau County, Northeast Judicial District, the Honorable Michael G. Sturdevant, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Anthony S. Benson, State's Attorney, 616 Main Street, Bottineau, ND 58318-1395, for plaintiff and appellee; submitted on brief. Kelsey L. Gentzkow, 405 Bruce Avenue, Suite 100, Grand Forks, ND 58201, for defendant and appellant. State v. KippenNos. 20130239 & 20130263 Per Curiam. [¶1] Kevin Leonard Kippen appeals from criminal judgments following a jury verdict finding him guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol, under N.D.C.C. § 39-08-01, and driving while his license was suspended, under N.D.C.C. § 39-06-42. On appeal, Kippen argues there was insufficient evidence to sustain the verdict, because the State did not prove Kippen drove or operated the vehicle. We summarily affirm the district court's criminal judgments under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3). [¶2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. Carol Ronning Kapsner Mary Muehlen Maring Daniel J. Crothers Dale V.
