                                 No. 20240118

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Jarrod Henderson appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury
found him guilty of unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful
possession of a firearm by a felon. He argues the evidence is insufficient to
support the verdicts. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3),
concluding there was sufficient evidence to support the guilty verdicts, and
N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7). See State v. Enriquez, 
2024 ND 164, ¶ 24
, 10 N.W.3d 777
(concluding the State can rely on surrounding facts and circumstances, including
testimony from a lay witness, to prove a weapon is a firearm as defined in
N.D.C.C. § 12.1-01-04(9), a statutory provision that is nearly identical to the
definition under N.D.C.C. § 62.1-01-01(3), as charged in this case).
