                           State v. Rivera-Rieffel
                                No. 20200210

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Jose Javier Rivera-Rieffel appeals from a criminal judgment entered
after a jury convicted him of murder and child abuse. He argues the evidence
presented at trial is insufficient to support the jury’s verdict. After reviewing
the record, we conclude substantial evidence supports the verdict. We
summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
