State v. SchnellbachNo. 20160342
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Adam Schnellbach appeals a criminal judgment imposing a sentence of 60 years, to serve 22, after he entered an Alford plea for two counts of gross sexual imposition and one count of promoting sexual performance by a minor. Schnellbach argues the district court erred in its conclusions relating to the sentencing factors under N.D.C.C. § 12.1-32-04. His sentence was within the statutory guidelines, and his arguments on appeal do not show that the court relied upon an impermissible factor. State v. Gonzalez, 2011 ND 143, ¶ 11, 799 N.W.2d 402 (reviewing sentencing decision only to ensure it is within range authorized by statute and does not substantially rely on an impermissible factor). We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7).
