State v. $2996.00 U.S. Currency
No. 20070082

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Shane Voigt appeals from the district court's findings and order granting forfeiture of $2996.00. Voigt argues the State did not provide sufficient evidence showing he intended to purchase controlled substances and claims contrary evidence established an alternative intended use for the money. Voigt complains evidence submitted to the district court for the first time after the forfeiture hearing as part of his motion to amend judgment was not properly considered. Voigt requests the order granting the forfeiture be reversed and the money be returned.

[¶2] The district court's order is affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (7). See State v. $17,515.00 in Cash Money, 2003 ND 168, ¶ 14, 670 N.W.2d 826; State v. One 1990 Chevrolet Pickup, 523 N.W.2d 389, 394 (N.D. 1994).
