[¶1] Leigh Allen Gerhard Tveito appeals from a district court judgment affirming a North Dakota Department of Transportation hearing officer's order suspending his driving privileges. Tveito argues the blood test taken by law enforcement was a warrantless search, the Department failed to establish an exception to the warrant requirement, his alleged consent was not voluntary because he was threatened with criminal prosecution if he did not consent, and the hearing officer improperly admitted his chemical blood test records into evidence. The district court judgment is summarily affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(5) and (7), State v. Boehm, 2014 ND 154, ¶¶ 17-2 2, 849 N.W.2d 239. [¶2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J.
