2019 ND ____ State of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Joshua Lee Buchanan, Defendant and Appellant No. 20190183 Appeal from the District Court of Stutsman County, Southeast Judicial District, the Honorable Troy J. LeFevre, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Joseph K. Nwoga, Assistant State’s Attorney, Jamestown, N.D., for plaintiff and appellee. Kiara C. Kraus-Parr, Grand Forks, N.D., for defendant and appellant. 1 Per Curiam. Joshua Buchanan appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of aggravated assault domestic violence. He argues the evidence at trial was insufficient to support the jury’s guilty verdict. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, we conclude sufficient evidence exists that could allow a jury to draw a reasonable inference in favor of conviction. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3). State v. Buchanan No. 20190183 Per Curiam.
