State v. Marshall

Nos. 20010193 & 20010253

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Floyd Solomon Marshall, Sr., appeals from the district court’s orders denying his N.D.R.Crim.P. 35(a) motion for correction of his sentence and his N.D.R.Crim.P. 36 motion for correction of a clerical mistake in his sentence.  Marshall briefed issues already decided by this Court.   See State v. Marshall , 1999 ND 242, ¶ 7, 603 N.W.2d 878 (holding Marshall qualifies as a dangerous special offender).  At oral argument, Marshall presented arguments not briefed.  With neither citations to relevant authority, nor any supportive reasoning to buttress his claim of sentence correction, Marshall’s arguments are without merit.   See Friedt v. Moseanko , 484 N.W.2d 861, 863 (N.D. 1992).  We conclude Marshall’s appeals are frivolous and completely without merit.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1).
