State v. Henderson

No. 20240118

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Jarrod Henderson appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. He argues the evidence is insufficient to support the verdicts. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3), concluding there was sufficient evidence to support the guilty verdicts, and N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7). See State v. Enriquez, 2024 ND 164, ¶ 24, 10 N.W.3d 777 (concluding the State can rely on surrounding facts and circumstances, including testimony from a lay witness, to prove a weapon is a firearm as defined in N.D.C.C. § 12.1-01-04(9), a statutory provision that is nearly identical to the definition under N.D.C.C. § 62.1-01-01(3), as charged in this case).
