State v. Carpenter

No. 20110283



Per Curiam.

[¶1]	Joseph Anthony Carpenter appeals a district court amended criminal judgment entered after this Court remanded his case for resentencing.  Carpenter argues the district court abused its discretion by sentencing him as a habitual offender.  The district court did not abuse its discretion, and we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4).
