State v. Nguyen

No. 20140183

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Matthew D. Nguyen appeals from an order deferring imposition of sentence entered after this Court reversed a district court order suppressing evidence found in Nguyen’s apartment during the execution of a warrant obtained after a drug-sniffing dog in the common hallway of his secured apartment building alerted outside his apartment.  Nguyen argues we should reverse our prior holding.  We decline the invitation and summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7).   See State v. Nguyen , 2013 ND 252, 841 N.W.2d 676.
