State v. Klamm

No. 20130163

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Andrew Neal Klamm appealed from a district court judgment entered after conditionally pleading guilty to driving under suspension.  Klamm argues that a law enforcement officer did not have a reasonable and articulable suspicion to stop his vehicle.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2), (3), and (7).   See Sturn v. Dir., North Dakota Dep’t of Transp. , 2009 ND 39, ¶¶ 13-14, 763 N.W.2d 515 (Although N.D.C.C. § 39-03-15 requires radar speed check results accepted as prima facie evidence of a motor vehicle’s speed, the officer’s testimony was not offered to establish a speeding conviction, but rather to establish “a reasonable person in the officer’s position would be justified by some objective manifestation to suspect potential unlawful activity.”).
