State v. Feist
No. 20070305

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Douglas Feist appealed from a criminal judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer. Feist contends that he was entitled to a new trial because the trial court allowed evidence and argument relating to his pre-arrest silence and allowed a state witness to testify incorrectly about a traffic law. Feist failed to object to the alleged errors at his trial, raising the issues for the first time on appeal. He also argues the evidence was insufficient to sustain the jury's guilty verdict. We summarily affirm the criminal judgment under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2), (3) and (4).
