                            State v. Richardson
                               No. 20200083

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Richard Richardson III appealed his conviction of felony reckless
endangerment, a class C felony under N.D.C.C. § 12.1-17-03, challenging the
sufficiency of the evidence for the jury’s verdict. He argues the evidence was
insufficient to show he acted recklessly and did not act in self-defense when he
fired his weapon at a vehicle with three occupants. We affirm under
N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).

[¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J.
     Gerald W. VandeWalle
     Daniel J. Crothers
