State v. Beane

Nos. 20100340 & 20100341

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Donald Beane appeals from criminal judgments entered after a jury found him guilty of possession of a controlled substance, a class C felony, and possession of drug paraphernalia, a class C felony.  On appeal, Beane argues the district court committed reversible error when it refused to admit Beane’s pants into evidence due to a violation of N.D.R.Crim.P. 16.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4).
