State v. Johnson
No. 20060315

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Steven Lennard Johnson appeals from a criminal judgment entered after the district court found him guilty of failure to register as a sex offender. Johnson claims the district court applied a negligence standard of culpability in finding him guilty of failure to register as a sex offender and the evidence was insufficient to convict him of a willful failure to register as a sex offender. We conclude the district court applied a willful culpability standard under State v. Knowels, 2002 ND 62, ¶ 13, 643 N.W.2d 20, and we affirm the judgment under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
