                              State v. Martinez
                                No. 20210207

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Wayne Herbert Martinez appeals from a criminal judgment in which he
was found guilty of aggravated assault. Martinez argues his constitutional
right to a speedy trial was violated. Martinez did not move to dismiss the
criminal complaint. A defendant who fails to move to dismiss based on a speedy
trial violation and submits to trial forfeits their claim asserting a violation of
their right to a speedy trial. See State v. Jensen, 2021 ND 119, ¶¶ 14-17, 962
N.W.2d 393; State v. Hamre, 2019 ND 86, ¶¶ 6, 14-15, 924 N.W.2d 776; Koenig
v. State, 2018 ND 59, ¶¶ 2, 14-24, 907 N.W.2d 344. After a review of the
arguments properly presented on appeal, we summarily affirm under
N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7).
