Disposition

• The appeal challenging the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the Defendant's conviction for possession of methamphetamine was affirmed.

Reasons

• The panel, consisting of Judges MEGAN P. DUFFY, J. MILES HANISEE, and KRISTINA BOGARDUS, unanimously affirmed the conviction. The Court was unpersuaded by the Defendant's challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence. The Defendant did not present any new facts, law, or arguments that could persuade the Court that the initial assessment to affirm the conviction was erroneous. The Court referenced previous case law stating the burden is on the party opposing the proposed disposition to clearly point out errors in fact or law, which the Defendant failed to do (paras 1-3).
