State v. BaeslerNos. 20120295 & 20120296

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Lowell Baesler appeals from a district court judgment entered after he conditionally pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. On appeal, Baesler argues law enforcement did not have reasonable suspicion to detain him after the initial reason for the investigative stop ended; therefore, the drug dog's alert to narcotics could not be used to establish probable cause to search his vehicle. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
