Per Curiam.

1[¶] Juan Manuel Palacio III appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of possession of drug paraphernalia and criminal conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance. Palacio argues the state presented insufficient evidence to uphold the jury's verdict. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7). State v. Gray, 2017 ND 108, ¶¶ 15–16, 893 N.W.2d 484 (affirming judgment where appellant failed to provide a trial transcript on appeal, making it “impossible for this Court to conduct a meaningful and intelligent review” whether the defendant preserved for appeal the issue of insufficiency of the evidence or whether sufficient evidence supported the verdict).
