                             State v. Buchanan
                                No. 20190183

Per Curiam.

[¶1] 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).
