                              State v. Coleman
                                No. 20210040

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Eddie Lee Coleman appeals from the order deferring imposition of
sentence entered after a jury found Coleman guilty of preventing arrest.
Coleman argues the evidence at trial was insufficient to support his conviction
for preventing arrest. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the
verdict, we conclude substantial evidence exists that could allow a jury to draw
a reasonable inference in favor of conviction. We summarily affirm under
N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
