                              State v. Ruddell
                               No. 20190139

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Michelynn Ruddell appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a
jury found her guilty of eight drug-related charges. She argues the district
court erred in denying her motion for acquittal and insufficient evidence
supports the guilty verdicts on counts one, two, four, and seven. 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).
