STATE of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee
v.
Russell Wayne EVERETT, Jr., Defendant and Appellant
No. 20170367
Supreme Court of North Dakota.
Filed July 11, 2018
Marina Spahr, Assistant State's Attorney, Bismarck, ND, for plaintiff and appellee.
Kiara C. Kraus-Parr, Grand Forks, ND, for defendant and appellant.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Russell Wayne Everett, Jr. appealed from a district court judgment in which a jury found him guilty on two counts of gross sexual imposition. Everett argues there was insufficient evidence presented at trial to sustain the jury verdict and criminal judgment. Everett also argues the district court abused its discretion in denying his motion for new trial. We conclude there is sufficient evidence to sustain the conviction and the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Everett's motion. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3) and (4).
