No. 20150034

Appeal from the District Court of Morton County, South Central Judicial District, the Honorable Thomas J. Schneider, Judge.

AFFIRMED.

Per Curiam.

Brian D. Grosinger, Assistant State’s Attorney, 210 Second Ave. N.W., Mandan, ND 58554, for plaintiff and appellee.

State v. Olson

No. 20150034

Per Curiam.

[¶1]	Jeffrey Alan Olson appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of forgery under N.D.C.C. § 12.1-24-01.  Olson argues the State failed to present sufficient evidence the checks were forged or counterfeited under the definition provided to the jury and the district court erred by refusing to grant Olson’s Rule 29, N.D.R.Crim.P., motion for acquittal.  We conclude sufficient evidence exists the checks were forged or counterfeited and summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
