Mathew W. Bovkoon, Defendant and Appellant No. 20060312 Appeal from the District Court of McLean County, South Central Judicial District, the Honorable Bruce B. Haskell, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Ladd R. Erickson, State's Attorney, P.O. Box 1108, Washburn, ND 58577-1108, for plaintiff and appellee. Submitted on brief. Kent M. Morrow, P.O. Box 2155, Bismarck, ND 58502-2155, for defendant and appellant. Submitted on brief. State v. Bovkoon No. 20060312 Per Curiam. [¶1] Mathew W. Bovkoon appealed from a criminal judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of the offense of livestock running at large. Bovkoon argues the district court erroneously allowed the State to introduce evidence of past incidents where his livestock ran at large. We conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting this prior-act evidence under N.D.R.Ev. 404(b). We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4). [¶2]Gerald W.
