City of Bismarck v. WellsNo. 20170173

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Weston Wells appealed from a criminal judgment for actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicating liquor entered upon a conditional guilty plea after the district court denied his motion to suppress. On appeal, Wells argues the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress chemical test results because he was denied his statutory right to the reasonable opportunity to consult with counsel before deciding whether to submit to chemical testing. We conclude the district court did not err in denying the motion to suppress evidence. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7). City of Dickinson v. Schank, 2017 ND 81, ¶ 12, 892 N.W.2d 593.
