State v. McGeehan

No. 20120164



Per Curiam.

[¶1]	Patrick McGeehan appeals from a district court criminal judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of simple assault on a police officer.  McGeehan argues improper statements made in the State’s closing argument prejudicially affected his substantial rights and deprived him of a fair trial.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7).
