State v. McGeehanNo. 20120164

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Patrick McGeehan appeals from a district court criminal judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of simple assault on a police officer. McGeehan argues improper statements made in the State's closing argument prejudicially affected his substantial rights and deprived him of a fair trial. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7). See State v. Rivet, 2008 ND 145, 752 N.W.2d 611.
