City of Bismarck v. Stockert
Nos. 20020331-20020333

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Jeffrey L. Stockert appeals a jury's verdict convicting him of criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, and unlawful registration of a motor vehicle. Stockert argues another person committed the crimes charged, and the State presented insufficient evidence to convict him. "We will reverse a criminal conviction only if, after viewing the evidence and all evidentiary inferences favorable to the prosecution, no rational fact finder could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." City of Jamestown v. Tahran, 2003 ND 35, ¶ 4, 657 N.W.2d 235. Because a rational jury could have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on the evidence presented, we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
