• Whether the ordinances underlying the Defendant's convictions are void for vagueness.
• Whether the prosecuting authority withheld exculpatory evidence.

Disposition

• The Court affirmed the Defendant's convictions (para 4).

Reasons

• The Court, comprising Judge Jennifer L. Attrep, with Judges Zachary A. Ives and Jane B. Yohalem concurring, found that the Defendant's memorandum in opposition largely reiterated issues raised in his docketing statement without asserting new facts, law, or arguments that would persuade the Court to alter its proposed disposition. The Court disagreed with the Defendant's contention that the subjective opinion of a testifying witness is insufficient for a conviction, citing precedent that the testimony of a single witness can be sufficient. The Court also found the Defendant's arguments regarding the vagueness of the ordinances and the withholding of exculpatory evidence to be unsupported by legal authority or insufficiently developed for appellate review. Consequently, the Court affirmed the Defendant's convictions for reasons stated in their notice of proposed disposition and the memorandum opinion (paras 2-4).
