¶34

¶35Per Curiam.

¶36[¶1] Noah Hoffer appealed from an order deferring imposition of his sentence entered after he entered a conditional guilty plea to conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia, reserving the right to appeal the denial of his motion to suppress.  Hoffer argues that probable cause plus an exception to the warrant requirement was necessary to justify law enforcement’s warrantless seizure of personal property, a backpack in this case.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2), (3), and (7).   See State v. Heier , 2016 ND 158.
