Appeal from the District Court of Benson County, Northeast Judicial District, the Honorable Lee A. Christofferson, Judge.

AFFIRMED.

Per Curiam.

James P. Wang, State’s Attorney, P.O. Box 211, Minnewaukan, N.D. 58351-

0211, for plaintiff and appellee.

State v. Georgeson

No. 20060211

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Verdane Georgeson appeals a criminal judgment convicting him of gross sexual imposition, arguing the trial court’s preliminary instruction and jury admonishments constituted reversible error, and that there was insufficient evidence to convict him.  Georgeson’s appeal is completely without merit, and the judgment is supported by substantial evidence.  Therefore, we summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1) and (3).
