Legal Issues

  • Whether the district court erred in allowing the jury to consider certain evidence before the State established a sufficient foundation for its admission.

Disposition

  • The conviction for possession of methamphetamine was affirmed (para 3).

Reasons

  • Per J. Miles Hanisee, with Megan P. Duffy and Jane B. Yohalem concurring: The Court considered the Defendant's memorandum in opposition but found no new facts, law, or argument that persuaded them to alter their notice of proposed disposition. The Court referenced previous case law to emphasize the burden on the party opposing the proposed disposition to clearly point out errors in fact or law. The repetition of earlier arguments did not fulfill this requirement, leading to the affirmation of the Defendant's conviction (paras 1-3).
