State v. Lindquist
No. 20200022
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Ryan Lindquist appeals from a criminal judgment after entering
conditional pleas following an order denying his motion to suppress. On
appeal, Lindquist states his “main contention upon [his] motion to suppress
was that because Lindquist was immediately detained at the scene . . . [his]
detention was violative of Lindquist’s Fourth Amendment rights.” While
Lindquist makes a conclusory statement that his detention was unlawful, he
failed to adequately develop an argument in support of this contention. The
district court’s findings have adequate support in the record. “Our Court will
not consider an argument that is not adequately articulated, supported, and
briefed.” State v. Bachmeier, 2007 ND 42, ¶ 10, 729 N.W.2d 141. We
summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2),(7).
