State v. BusbyNo. 20150173

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Joshua Busby appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of aggravated assault. Busby argues the district court erred by excluding a kidnapping conviction offered as evidence of the victim's violent character. The district court did not abuse its discretion in excluding such evidence and we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4) and 35.1(a)(7). State v. Chisholm, 2012 ND 147, ¶ 16, 818 N.W.2d 707.
