STATE v. WILSON (2022)

[¶1] Cordell Wilson appeals from a criminal judgment entered following a jury verdict finding him guilty of one count of possession with the intent to manufacture or deliver a controlled substance under N.D.C.C. § 19-03.1-23(1)(a). On appeal, Wilson argues the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction, and the jury was tainted. After reviewing the record, we conclude substantial evidence exists for a jury to draw a reasonable inference that Wilson willfully possessed a controlled substance with the intent to manufacture or deliver. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).

[¶2] Wilson also argues the jury was tainted. Wilson did not point out any evidence in the record or provide us with any legal authority on this issue. A party waives an issue by not providing adequate supporting argument. Lovro v. City of Finley, 2022 ND 145, ¶ 16, 978 N.W.2d 67. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7).
