Disposition

  • The Court affirmed the judgment and sentence of the district court, convicting the Defendant of numerous charges (para 3).

Reasons

  • VARGAS, Judge, with LINDA M. VANZI, Judge and MEGAN P. DUFFY, Judge concurring:
    The Court considered the Defendant's memorandum in opposition to the proposed disposition but remained unpersuaded by the arguments presented. The Defendant conceded that his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel was more appropriately addressed in habeas corpus proceedings. Furthermore, the Court found that the Defendant failed to demonstrate any error regarding the sufficiency of evidence supporting his convictions. The Court referenced the presumption of correctness in the decisions of the district court and the burden on the party claiming error to show such error on appeal. Additionally, the Defendant did not assert any errors of fact relied upon in the proposed disposition, leading the Court to affirm the judgment and sentence based on these reasons and those stated in the notice of proposed disposition (paras 1-2).
