¶39Per Curiam.

¶40[¶1] In these consolidated appeals from convictions for driving while under suspension and driving without liability insurance, Kevin Eugene Rohde asserts the trial court erroneously refused to dismiss the charges against him because he has a constitutional right to operate a motor vehicle on the roads of North Dakota without a valid drivers license.  The North Dakota Supreme Court has rejected this identical argument in the past.  SeeCity of Bismarck v. Stuart, 546 N.W.2d 366, 367 (N.D. 1996); State v. Kouba, 319 N.W.2d 161, 163 (N.D. 1982).  SeealsoState v. Ertelt, 548 N.W.2d 775, 776-77 (N.D. 1996).  Accordingly, we affirm the convictions under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1) and (7).
