v.
Corbin Alexander Lampert, Defendant and Appellant
No. 20240271
Appeal from the District Court of Burleigh County, South Central Judicial

AFFIRMED.
Per Curiam.

State v. Lampert
No. 20240271
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Corbin Lampert appeals from a judgment entered after a jury found him
guilty of murder and unlawful possession of a firearm, arguing his convictions
should be overturned because the verdicts were based on insufficient evidence.
He also argues the district court abused its discretion by allowing a witness to
testify after violating a sequestration order.
[¶2] After reviewing the record we conclude the evidence was sufficient to
support a finding that Lampert was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for both
charges of murder and unlawful possession of a firearm. See State v. Watts,
, 10 N.W.3d 563 (stating a defendant must show the evidence
permits no reasonable inference of guilt and that this Court does not reweigh
conflicting evidence or judge the credibility of witnesses). We summarily affirm
under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
[¶3] The district court did not abuse its discretion permitting the witness to
testify. See State v. Wanner,
(stating it is
in the district court’s discretion to allow a witness to testify despite hearing prior
testimony in violation of a sequestration order and that the party objecting to the
testimony must show the witness was influenced by the prior testimony and the
objecting party would be prejudiced by the influenced testimony). We
summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4).
