    State v. Flah

    No. 20120357

      

    Per Curiam.

    [¶1] Kawo Flah appeals a district court judgment of conviction for possession of drug paraphernalia after a jury trial.  Flah argues the prosecutor improperly vouched for the truth and veracity of the testimony of two police officers.  We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7).   State v. Clark , 2004 ND 85, ¶ 9, 678 N.W.2d 765 (a prosecutor’s closing argument may properly draw reasonable conclusions and argue permissible inferences from the evidence).
