IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2024 ND 100 State of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Mathew Richard Anderson, Defendant and Appellant No. 20230374 Appeal from the District Court of Ward County, North Central Judicial District, the Honorable Todd L. Cresap, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Rozanna C. Larson, State’s Attorney, Minot, N.D., for plaintiff and appellee. Samuel A. Gereszek, Grand Forks, N.D., for defendant and appellant. 1 State v. Anderson No. 20230374 Per Curiam. [¶1] Mathew Richard Anderson appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury convicted him of murder under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life. He argues the district court abused its discretion by denying his Rule 29, N.D.R.Crim.P., motion for judgment of acquittal because insufficient evidence supports his conviction. After review of the record, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Anderson’s motion for judgment of acquittal, and sufficient evidence supports the conviction. We summarily affirm the criminal judgment under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3) and (4). [¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Jerod E. Tufte Douglas A. Bahr
