City of West Fargo v. Olson

No. 20060325

Per Curiam.

[¶1]	Rick Olson appeals from a judgment entered upon a jury verdict for driving under the influence of alcohol.  Olson did not clearly articulate his issues on appeal.  Further, Olson failed to file an appendix and a transcript, leaving us with very little record to review.  “If the record on appeal does not allow a meaningful and intelligent review of the alleged error, we decline to review it.”

Flattum-Riemers v. Flattum-Riemers
, 2003 ND 70, ¶ 8, 660 N.W.2d 558; 
Wagner v. Squibb
, 2003 ND 18, ¶ 5, 656 N.W.2d 674; 
Sabot v. Fargo Women’s Health Org., Inc.
, 500 N.W.2d 889, 892 (N.D. 1993).  We conclude Olson failed to provide us the opportunity to review his claims in a meaningful and intelligent manner.  Therefore, we summarily affirm the district court under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1).
