State v. Williams

No. 20160171



Per Curiam.

[¶1]	Michael Williams appeals from an order denying his motion to suppress evidence and a criminal judgment convicting him of gross sexual imposition and burglary.  Williams was also charged with several misdemeanors.  The district court severed the misdemeanor counts from the felony counts on Williams’s motion.  The felony counts were tried to a jury resulting in unanimous guilty verdicts.  Following the jury trial, Willams pled guilty to several misdemeanors without reserving his right to appeal by entering a conditional plea.  Several other misdemeanors were dismissed.

[¶2]	On appeal, Williams argues the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence and there is insufficient evidence to support the conviction.  We conclude the pretrial identification was not unnecessarily suggestive and there was sufficient evidence to uphold the guilty verdict.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2), (3), and (7).
