STATE of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Scott Owen PARKS, Defendant and Appellant

STATE of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee
v.
Scott Owen PARKS, Defendant and Appellant

No. 20170462

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

Filed May 8, 2018

Derek K. Steiner, Assistant State's Attorney, Burleigh County State's Attorney's Office, Bismarck, ND, for plaintiff and appellee; submitted on brief.

Scott O. Diamond, Fargo, ND, for defendant and appellant; submitted on brief.

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Scott Parks appealed after conditionally pleading guilty to charges of possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia, reserving the right to appeal the denial of his motion to suppress evidence. Parks argues the district court erred in denying his motion to suppress evidence obtained from a purported illegal stop of his vehicle, contending the stop was not supported by reasonable and articulable suspicion. We summarily affirm the amended criminal judgment under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (7). See City of West Fargo v. Ross , 2001 ND 163, 634 N.W.2d 527.
