State v. OlsonNo. 20150034

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Jeffrey Alan Olson appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of forgery under N.D.C.C. § 12.1-24-01. Olson argues the State failed to present sufficient evidence the checks were forged or counterfeited under the definition provided to the jury and the district court erred by refusing to grant Olson's Rule 29, N.D.R.Crim.P., motion for acquittal. We conclude sufficient evidence exists the checks were forged or counterfeited and summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
