NATURE OF CASE
Kenneth Johnson was tried in the district court for Lancaster County for incest and for first degree sexual assault on a child, based on acts allegedly committed against his stepdaughter. He was acquitted by a jury of the first degree sexual assault charge but convicted of incest. Johnson appealed to the Nebraska Court [508]*508of Appeals. Included in the issues raised on appeal relative to the incest statute, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-703(1) (Reissue 1995), was a consideration of the correct definition of “minor” under the incest statute for acts committed against a stepchild and whether § 28-703 is unconstitutionally vague for failing to define “minor.” The Court of Appeals affirmed Johnson’s conviction. State v. Johnson, 12 Neb. App. 247, 670 N.W.2d 802 (2003). We granted Johnson’s petition for further review. We affirm.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
Johnson and his wife were married in 1991. Johnson’s wife had four children from previous relationships, all of whom lived with the couple. Johnson had five children, two of whom lived periodically with the couple. At the time of the marriage, C.K., a stepdaughter of Johnson, was around 10 years old.
Johnson admitted to police that when C.K. was around the age of 17, Johnson and C.K. had sexual contact, and that they had sexual intercourse when C.K. was 18 years old. C.K., however, testified that the contact started at age 12 and that intercourse started a year later and continued until she contacted the police.
On November 30, 2001, Johnson was charged with first degree sexual assault on a child (count I), in violation of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-319 (Reissue 1995), and incest (count II), in violation of § 28-703(1). Section 28-703(1) provides, “Any person who shall knowingly intermarry or engage in sexual penetration with any person who falls within the degrees of consanguinity set forth in section 28-702 or any person who engages in sexual penetration with his. or her minor stepchild commits incest.”
Johnson filed a motion in limine asking the court to exclude the evidence of his statement made to police officers on October 4, 2001. Specifically, Johnson objected to any statement he made regarding sexual contact with the alleged victim when she was 16 years or older. At the hearing, Johnson argued, in part, that any alleged sexual contact with C.K. when she was above the age of consent would not constitute incest and that the statement would be unfairly prejudicial. The court overruled the motion in limine.
The case proceeded to a jury trial. Before the case was submitted to the jury, Johnson objected to jury instruction No. 4 which [509]*509stated in relevant part that an element of the charge of incest was that C.K. “was, at the time of the offense, less than nineteen (19) years old.” The court overruled the objection and refused to give Johnson’s proposed jury instruction No. 4 which would have stated in relevant part that an element of the charge of incest was that C.K. “was, at the time of the offense, less than sixteen (16) years old.” The jury found Johnson not guilty of first degree sexual assault on a child but found him guilty of stepchild incest. The court entered judgment in conformity with the jury verdict and sentenced Johnson.
Johnson appealed to the Court of Appeals. He asserted that the district court erred in (1) overruling his motion for directed verdict for the reason that the State failed to- make a prima facie showing of all the elements of its case and because the statute upon which the charge was based is unconstitutionally vague; (2) allowing the State to amend the information to include the word “minor” in the charge of incest; (3) overruling his motion for mistrial; (4) refusing to grant him a new arraignment after the information was amended, thereby denying him an opportunity to file a motion to quash; (5) overruling his objection to jury instruction No. 4; and (6) refusing to give his proposed jury instruction in place of jury instruction No. 4. The Court of Appeals rejected each of these assignments of error. State v. Johnson, 12 Neb. App. 247, 670 N.W.2d 802 (2003).
With respect to Johnson’s claim that § 28-703 was unconstitutional, the Court of Appeals determined that Johnson had not complied with Neb. Ct. R. of Prac. 9E (rev. 2000) and therefore concluded that the claim had not been properly preserved for appellate review. Rule 9E generally provides for the filing of a separate notice challenging the constitutionality of a statute and serving a brief on the Attorney General. The Court of Appeals also rejected Johnson’s assertions that the district court erred in giving the State’s instruction No. 4 on the definition of “minor,” as it pertained to the stepchild incest charge in count II, and in refusing to give Johnson’s proposed instruction on the definition of “minor.”
The Court of Appeals noted that § 28-703 does not define “minor” and that minors are described as being persons of different ages for different purposes in various Nebraska statutes. The [510]*510Court of Appeals concluded that Neb. Rev. Stat. § 43-2101 (Reissue 2004) provided the correct definition of the term “minor” in § 28-703. The Court of Appeals reasoned as follows:
Use of § 43-2101 to define “minor” for purposes of the incest statute, § 28-703, is appropriate because the incest statute is obviously intended to protect the familial structure of both blood relatives and stepfamilies. Minor stepchildren are included in the incest statute because a stepparent and a minor stepchild can have the same relationship as a natural parent has with a natural child. Even if the relationship is not the same, the stepparent is still in a position of power, authority, and dominance vis-a-vis the stepchild.
For parents and natural children, there is no age at which sexual relations become lawful. See § 28-703. In short, the law does not permit consent to such a relationship. However, for the crime of incest in a stepfamily, the stepchild must be a minor, meaning that an adult stepchild can consent to such a relationship. The Legislature apparently recognized that the makeup of a stepfamily may eventually change once a child becomes an adult and that a sexual relationship between an adult stepchild and a stepparent could occur, because it does not have the inherent criminality, danger to offspring, and destructiveness to the entire family that arises when sex occurs between parent and child. It is evident that the Legislature saw incest as a very serious crime and wanted to provide as much protection as possible for stepchildren and their families without denying the fact that the status of stepfamilies may change. While the Legislature did not define “minor” within the incest statute, it is reasonable to assume a legislative intent to provide the maximum degree of protection for stepchildren and their families while recognizing the difference between stepchildren and natural children and to construe the statute accordingly. For a sexual relationship between the latter to truly be consensual, the stepchild, of necessity, must be an adult. Thus, we reject the use of younger ages for minor children as found in other statutes we have listed and hold that for the crime of incest, any stepchild under the age of 19 is a minor. Thus, we hold that § 43-2101 [511]*511defines “minor” as a person under 19 years of age for purposes of the incest statute, § 28-703.
Further support for § 43-2101 being applicable to the incest statute is found in its location in the statutes. Even though § 43-2101 is not contained in the criminal code, it is in the chapter entitled “Infants and Juveniles,” and it is well known that the juvenile code has as its overriding concern the child’s best interests. That chapter also provides the definition of stepparent that is applicable to the incest statute. See Judiciary Committee Hearing, L.B. 89, 89th Leg., 1st Sess. 43 (Jan. 30, 1985). It is appropriate for the term “minor” to be defined as under the age of 19 for purposes of the incest statute, as it is in the child’s best interests to be protected from incest by a stepparent until adulthood.
State v. Johnson, 12 Neb. App. 247, 259-60, 670 N.W.2d 802, 813 (2003).
The Court of Appeals therefore concluded that the instruction given by the district court correctly stated the law and that the instruction proposed by Johnson did not correctly state the law. The Court of Appeals rejected all of Johnson’s remaining assignments of error and affirmed his conviction. We granted Johnson’s petition for further review.
ASSIGNMENTS OF ERROR
Johnson asserts that the Court of Appeals erred in rejecting his arguments that the district court had erred in (1) overruling his motion for directed verdict for the reason that the State failed to make a prima facie showing of all the elements of its case and for the further reason that § 28-703, the statute upon which the charge was based, is unconstitutionally vague; (2) allowing the State to amend the information; (3) overruling his motion for mistrial; (4) refusing to grant him a new arraignment after the information was amended; (5) overruling his objection to jury instruction No. 4; and (6) refusing to give his proposed jury instruction.
STANDARD OF REVIEW
Interpretation of a statute presents a question of law, for which an appellate court has an obligation to reach an independent conclusion irrespective of the decision made by the court below. State v. Aguilar, 268 Neb. 411, 683 N.W.2d 349 (2004).
[512]*512ANALYSIS
Constitutionality of § 28-703.
We first consider Johnson’s assertion that § 28-703 is unconstitutionally vague in its description of the offense of stepchild incest. We conclude that the constitutional issue has not been preserved for appeal, and we therefore malee no determination whether or not the statute is unconstitutionally vague.
The Court of Appeals held that Johnson’s claim that § 28-703 is unconstitutionally vague was not properly preserved for appellate review. Johnson, supra. The Court of Appeals stated:
It has been established that the Nebraska Supreme Court insists upon strict compliance with Neb. Ct. R. of Prac. 9E (rev. 2000) before it will consider a constitutional challenge. [Citations omitted.] Johnson did not comply with rule 9E, which requires that when filing a brief, a party alleging unconstitutionality of a federal or state statute must file and serve a separate written notice of the challenge to the statute with the Clerk of the Supreme Court. Additionally, the Attorney General must be served a copy of the brief assigning unconstitutionality within 5 days of the filing of the brief with the Clerk of the Supreme Court. Johnson did not comply with either of these requirements of rule 9E.
12 Neb. App. at 253, 670 N.W.2d at 809.
We have held that rule 9E is applicable to a criminal defendant challenging the constitutionality of the statute defining the offense with which he or she was charged. State v. Feiling, 255 Neb. 427, 585 N.W.2d 456 (1998); State v. Kelley, 249 Neb. 99, 541 N.W.2d 645 (1996). See also, State v. McDowell, 246 Neb. 692, 522 N.W.2d 738 (1994). We have also insisted on strict compliance with the requirements of rule 9E. Feiling, supra; McDowell, supra.
We note that rule 9E requires the filing of “a separate written notice” to the Supreme Court Clerk that the appeal involves an issue of constitutionality of a statute as well as service of the brief on the Attorney General. We think that compliance with rule 9E requires “a separate written notice” to the Supreme Court Clerk and that such notice ordinarily ought not to be contained in a filing that has as its main purpose something other than giving notice to the clerk that constitutionality of a statute is at issue.
[513]*513As set forth in the separate opinion in this case, some members of this court would find that Johnson in effect complied with rule 9E because he filed a “Petition to Bypass,” in which he stated that in his appeal, he claimed the statute under which he was convicted was unconstitutionally vague. Although we have not insisted on rule 9E compliance where we have granted a petition to bypass for the explicit purpose of analyzing the constitutionality of a statute, we note that the petition to bypass in this case was denied and that therefore, the separate written notice requirement ought not to be forgiven.
We further observe that when the issue of the constitutionality of a statute is merely contained in an ordinary pleading, the Supreme Court Clerk is not put on notice that the case should be specially processed. We note that Neb. Const, art. V, § 2, requires that the “judges of the Supreme Court, sitting without division, shall hear and determine all cases involving the constitutionality of a statute” and that “[n]o legislative act shall be held unconstitutional except by the concurrence of five judges.” The rule 9E notice to the Supreme Court Clerk assists the clerk and this court in ensuring that an appeal involving the constitutionality of a statute is heard by the full court. As the separate opinion notes and we acknowledge, the second requirement of rule 9E, that a copy of the brief be served on the Attorney General, has been met in this case. However, we would determine that Johnson failed to comply with rule 9E.
We further note that it is undisputed that at the trial level, Johnson filed neither a motion to quash nor a demurrer challenging the constitutionality of § 28-703. A claim that a statute fails to define a criminal offense with sufficient definiteness to put ordinary people on notice of the prohibited conduct is a facial challenge to the constitutionality of the statute. State v. Thomas, 268 Neb. 570, 685 N.W.2d 69 (2004); State v. Hookstra, 263 Neb. 116, 638 N.W.2d 829 (2002) (challenge to statute, asserting that no valid application exists, is facial challenge); State v. Caddy, 262 Neb. 38, 628 N.W.2d 251 (2001). We have recently clarified that a facial challenge to a presumptively valid criminal statute does not raise an issue of subject matter jurisdiction in a criminal prosecution and thus may be waived if not timely asserted. See Thomas, supra. “This court has repeatedly held that in order to [514]*514bring a constitutional challenge to the facial validity of a statute, the proper procedure is to file a motion to quash or a demurrer.” State v. Kanarick, 257 Neb. 358, 362, 598 N.W.2d 430, 433 (1999). Absent plain error, the failure to do so waives the right to assert the constitutional challenge on appeal. Thomas, supra.
As set forth in a separate opinion, some members of this court would rule that because Johnson’s conviction was based on § 28-703 and because this appeal cannot be fairly resolved without interpretation of § 28-703, the constitutionality of § 28-703 must be considered despite Johnson’s failure to file a motion to quash or a demurrer challenging the statute. They cite to State v. Goodseal, 186 Neb. 359, 368, 183 N.W.2d 258, 263-64 (1971), in which this court stated that “where the invalidity of the act is plain, and such a determination is necessary to a reasonable and sensible disposition of the issues presented, we are required by necessity to notice the plain error in the premise on which the case was tried.” Although we share some of the concerns expressed in the separate opinion, we would not invoke the Goodseal rationale because the Court of Appeals’ opinion demonstrates that the issues in this appeal can be resolved without addressing the constitutionality of § 28-703 and, more important, the invalidity of § 28-703 is not plainly evident. See Goodseal, supra (Spencer and Boslaugh, JJ., dissenting).
We have set forth well-recognized principles of statutory interpretation providing the framework within which the constitutionality of a statute is considered. “ ‘It is well established that all reasonable intendments must be indulged to support the constitutionality of legislative acts ....’” State v. Ruzicka, 218 Neb. 594, 597, 357 N.W.2d 457,461 (1984). A statute is presumed to be constitutional, and all reasonable doubts will be resolved in favor of its constitutionality. State v. Worm, 268 Neb. 74, 680 N.W.2d 151 (2004). A penal statute must be construed so as to meet constitutional requirements if such can reasonably be done. State v. Hynek, 263 Neb. 310, 640 N.W.2d 1 (2002). “When a statute is susceptible of two constructions, under one of which the statute is valid while under the other of which the statute would be unconstitutional or of doubtful validity, that construction which results in validity is to be adopted.” Hookstra, 263 Neb. at 124, 638 N.W.2d at 836. The unconstitutionality of a statute must be clearly established before [515]*515a court may declare it void. State v. Spady, 264 Neb. 99, 645 N.W.2d 539 (2002). “ ‘The courts will not declare an act of the Legislature unconstitutional except as a‘last resort on the facts before the court.’ ” Goodseal, 186 Neb. at 369, 183 N.W.2d at 264 (Spencer and Boslaugh, JJ., dissenting), quoting Stanton v. Mattson, 175 Neb. 767, 123 N.W.2d 844 (1963).
Given this strong presumption of constitutionality, we cannot say that § 28-703 is plainly invalid. The fact that reasonable arguments can be made does not make a statute’s unconstitutionality plainly evident, State v. Garza, 242 Neb. 573, 496 N.W.2d 448 (1993), and a statute is not vague merely because a reviewing court believes the Legislature could have drafted it with greater precision, State v. Caddy, 262 Neb. 38, 628 N.W.2d 251 (2001). Rather, the void-for-vagueness doctrine bars enforcement of a statute which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that persons of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its applications. Caddy, supra. This is not a case in which the Legislature has failed to supply a material element; rather, it is a case in which the Legislature has failed to specifically define a term.
In our consideration of § 28-703, we note that there is weighty precedent which suggests that § 28-703 is not unconstitutionally vague for failing to specifically define “minor.” The U.S. Supreme Court in Osborne v. Ohio, 495 U.S. 103, 110 S. Ct. 1691, 109 L. Ed. 2d 98 (1990), reviewed State v. Young, 37 Ohio St. 3d 249, 525 N.E.2d 1363 (1988), in which the Ohio Supreme Court applied the plain meaning of the term “minor” as being a person under the age of majority and then looked to the general civil statute specifying the age of majority. Although reversing the defendant’s conviction on other grounds, the U.S. Supreme Court found no merit in the defendant’s claim that the Ohio Supreme Court’s resorting to Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 3109.01 (Anderson 1989) could not save the statute from his vagueness claim. Osborne, supra.
The separate opinion concludes that although the reasoning in cases such as Young, supra, “may have merit, [the reasoning] is not applicable” as “the Nebraska statutes contain several provisions that define the term ‘minor’ for specific purposes.” However, a statutory pattern similar to that in Nebraska existed in Ohio at the time that Young was decided. See, § 3109.01 (defining age of [516]*516majority as. 18); Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 2907.04(A) (Anderson 1987) (criminalizing adult’s sexual conduct with person over 12 but under 15); Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 2907.05(A)(3) (Anderson 1987) (criminalizing gross sexual imposition of person less than 13); Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 2907.21(A)(2) (Anderson 1987) (criminalizing, inducing, or procuring minor under 16 to engage in sexual activity for hire).
We further note that various other courts have rejected vagueness challenges to penal statutes that fail to define the term “minor” when the meaning can be determined by reference to other statutes or to common law. See, State v. Ehlers, 252 Conn. 579, 750 A.2d 1079 (2000) (child pornography criminal statute not vague for failing to define “minor”; definition of “minor” as under age 16 could be found in closely related criminal statutes); State v. Duggar, 806 S.W.2d 407 (Mo. 1991) (statute making it crime to fail to support minor not vague for failing to define “minor”; common-law understanding was- that 21 was age of majority); State v. Jackson, 280 N.C. 563, 187 S.E.2d 27 (1972) (statute criminalizing sale of narcotics to minor not vague for failing to define “minor”; common-law definition of “minor” as under age 21 applies to statute); People v. Vassar, 207 Cal. App. 2d 318, 24 Cal. Rptr. 481 (1962) (statute criminalizing furnishing narcotics to minor not vague for failure to define “minor”; definition of “minor” as under age 21 contained in civil code may be used to define “minor”). Both the reasoning set forth above and the reasoning set forth in the separate opinion present rational arguments supporting the respective views as to whether § 28-703 is unconstitutionally vague. Having come to such determination, we are unable to conclude that the unconstitutionality of § 28-703 is “plainly evident.” Without deciding whether the statute is or is not unconstitutionally vague, we conclude that because the invalidity of the statute is not plainly evident, we cannot, under the standard set out in State v. Goodseal, 186 Neb. 359, 183 N.W.2d 258 (1971), consider the constitutionality of the statute where the defendant has failed to properly preserve the issue for appeal.
We note that the separate opinion concluding that § 28-703 is unconstitutionally vague sets forth the opinion of four of the seven members of this court. Despite the fact that this number is [517]*517a majority of the court which would normally control the outcome of a case, article V, § 2, of the Nebraska Constitution provides that “[n]o legislative act shall be held unconstitutional except by the concurrence of five judges.” Therefore, our opinion that the constitutionality of the statute cannot be considered in this appeal controls the outcome of this case. We therefore will proceed to consider Johnson’s other assignments of error on further review.
Definition of “Minor” Under § 28-703.
Johnson asserts that the Court of Appeals erred in concluding that “minor” as used in § 28-703 means a person under 19 years of age. The Court of Appeals determined that such definition was appropriate by reference to § 43-2101, and it therefore concluded that the district court did not err when it instructed the jury that an element of the charge of incest was that Johnson’s stepdaughter “was, at the time of the offense, less than nineteen (19) years old.” Although we use different reasoning than that used by the Court of Appeals, we agree that the district court did not err in so instructing the jury.
In concluding that § 43-2101 provides the correct definition of the term “minor” under § 28-703, the Court of Appeals reasoned that the incest statute, § 28-703, “is obviously intended to protect the familial structure of both blood relatives and stepfamilies” and that § 43-2101 is part of the juvenile code which “has as its overriding concern the child’s best interests.” State v. Johnson, 12 Neb. App. 247, 259, 260, 670 N.W.2d 802, 813 (2003). The Court of Appeals also noted that the juvenile code “provides the definition of stepparent that is applicable to the incest statute.” Id. at 260, 670 N.W.2d at 813. Because the two statutes had similar goals and dealt with similar subject matter, the Court of Appeals concluded that the definition of “minor” in § 43-2101 was the proper definition of “minor” in § 28-703.
We think that a more straightforward construction of § 28-703 would follow the reasoning approved by the U.S. Supreme Court and initially articulated by the Ohio Supreme Court in State v. Young, 37 Ohio St. 3d 249, 525 N.E.2d 1363 (1988), reversed in part on other grounds sub nom. Osborne v. Ohio, 495 U.S. 103, 110 S. Ct. 1691, 109 L. Ed. 2d 98 (1990). In Young, defendants in [518]*518two separate cases were convicted for possession of child pornography under Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 2907.323(A)(3) (Anderson 1987), which provided that no person shall “[p]ossess or view any material or performance that shows a minor who is not the person’s child or ward in a state of nudity . . . .” The defendants asserted, among other things, that § 2907.323(A)(3) was unconstitutionally vague because the term “minor” was not defined. They argued that in using only the word “minor” without elaboration, the statute failed to limit its proscription to conduct involving children below a specified numeric age. The Ohio Supreme Court rejected the defendants’ argument, concluding that while the statute did not define “minor,” the omission was not fatal. The Ohio Supreme Court reasoned:
Any term which is not defined by a statute is accorded its common ordinary meaning. [Citation omitted.] We encounter no difficulty in finding the term “minor” to be generally understood as signifying a person who has not yet attained the age of majority. See Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged (1986) 1439. The age of majority in Ohio is eighteen. R.C. 3109.01. Therefore, the term “minor,” as employed in R.C. 2907.323(A)(3), connotes a person under eighteen years of age.
37 Ohio St. 3d at 252, 525 N.E.2d at 1368.
We have stated that “[statutory language is to be given its plain and ordinary meaning . . . .” In re Guardianship & Conservatorship of Woltemath, 268 Neb. 33, 41, 680 N.W.2d 142, 149-50 (2004). Like the Ohio Supreme Court in Young, we believe that the plain and ordinary meaning of the term “minor” is “generally understood as signifying a person who has not yet attained the age of majority.” The statute used by the Ohio Supreme Court in Young to define “minor” for purposes of § 2907.323 was § 3109.01, the Ohio statute generally defining the age of majority in that state. Nebraska’s § 43-2101 is titled “Persons declared minors; marriage, effect” and is located in chapter 43, article 21, of the Nebraska Revised Statutes, which article is titled “Age of Majority.” The plain and ordinary meaning of the term “minor” is a person who has not reached the age of majority, Young, supra, and in Nebraska, the age of majority is defined by § 43-2101 as age 19.
[519]*519While we acknowledge that various other Nebraska statutes refer to “minor” as a person under an age other than 19, we think it is significant that § 43-2101 makes a general statement that “[a]ll persons under nineteen years of age are declared to be minors ..and does not limit its application to a specific section of the statutes. In contrast to § 43-2101, other statutes giving a different definition of “minor” do not purport to declare who is a “minor” as a general matter, and they imply or explicitly state that the definition of “minor” provided therein is for the purpose of a specific section of the statutes. See, Neb. Rev. Stat. § 53-103(23) (Supp. 2003) (stating that for purposes of Nebraska Liquor Control Act, minor means any person under 21 years of age, regardless of marital status); Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-508.01(2) (Reissue 1995) (prescribing method of personal service for any person under 14 years of age and referring to such person as “minor,” but does not purport to declare “minor” for other purposes); Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-443 (Reissue 1995) (statute is titled “Delivery of drug paraphernalia to a minor; penalty” and proscribes delivery to a person under 18 years of age who is at least 3 years younger than actor, but does not purport to declare “minor” for other purposes); Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-805 (Reissue 1995) (describing offense of “debauching a minor” as act involving a boy or girl under age of 17, but does not purport to declare “minor” for other purposes); Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-1418 (Reissue 1995) (proscribing use of tobacco by person “being a minor under the age of eighteen years,” but does not purport to declare “minor” for other purposes).
We think it is a proper reading of the Nebraska Revised Statutes that § 43-2101 sets the age of majority and that, except where a statute references a specific age, § 43-2101 defines “minor” for general purposes. Where the word “minor” is used elsewhere in the statutes without further definition, it may be presumed to have the general meaning declared under § 43-2101. Where the Legislature wishes to provide a different definition or wishes to proscribe conduct based on an age other than the age of majority, the Legislature will explicitly do so, as it has done in the statutes cited above.
Because our analysis leads us to determine that the proper definition of “minor” for purposes of § 28-703 is that provided in [520]*520§ 43-2101, we conclude that the Court of Appeals did not err in construing “minor” under § 28-703 to have the same meaning and in concluding that the district court did not err in instructing the jury as such.
Other Assignments of Error.
We have reviewed Johnson’s remaining assignments of error, and we find no merit to such assignments. We therefore affirm the decision of the Court of Appeals.
CONCLUSION
We conclude that Johnson did not properly preserve the issue of the constitutionality of § 28-703 and that because the alleged invalidity of § 28-703 is not “plainly evident,” we cannot consider the issue in this appeal. We further conclude that the Court of Appeals did not err in concluding that the proper definition of “minor” as used in § 28-703 is that provided in § 43-2101 and that the district court did not err in so instructing the jury. Having rejected Johnson’s remaining assignments of error on further review, we affirm the Court of Appeals’ decision affirming Johnson’s conviction.
Affirmed.
