State v. Jackson

[¶1] Grady Jackson appeals from a district court judgment after a jury convicted him of driving while license suspended, a class A misdemeanor.  Jackson argues the district court wrongly denied him the services of an attorney.  We conclude the district court did not deny Jackson his Sixth Amendment right to counsel.   See State v. Falos , 431 N.W.2d 154 (N.D. 1988).  Jackson also argues that the district court should have provided him an evidentiary hearing on his motion to suppress and that the district court imposed upon him an excessive sentence because it relied on impermissible factors in determining his sentence.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4) and (7).
