Skarsgard Nos. 20070083 & 20070084 Per Curiam. [¶1] Rockwell Skarsgard appeals from two criminal judgments following a jury trial in which he was found guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol, a class C felony, and driving with a suspended license, a class A misdemeanor. [¶2] On appeal, Skarsgard argues the State provided insufficient evidence to sustain the guilty verdicts. Skarsgard argues the district court abused its discretion in sentencing him. He further argues he was denied his constitutional right to a speedy trial and that his pretrial detainment constituted a violation of his constitutional right against cruel and unusual punishment. Skarsgard also contends the district court improperly enhanced his charges based on prior convictions. [¶3] We summarily affirm the criminal judgments under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3), (4), and (7). See State v. Skarsgard, 2007 ND 159, State v. Skarsgard, 2007 ND 160, 739 N.W.2d 786 , and State v. Moran, 2006 ND 62, 711 N.W.2d 915. [¶4] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. Carol Ronning Kapsner Dale V.
