State v. Owens

No. 20110004

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Christopher Owens appeals after a jury found him guilty of gross sexual imposition, arguing the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to sustain the guilty verdict.  We conclude sufficient evidence exists to support the verdict.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
