NOTE: SUMMARY OPINION, SEE NORTH DAKOTA RULES OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE, RULE 35.1.


[¶ 1] Gary Moore appeals from a criminal judgment entered on a jury verdict finding him guilty of theft of property. Moore argues the evidence was insufficient to convict him of the crime, and the trial court erred in consolidating his trial with his brother's trial and in admitting into evidence photographs of the two of them. We conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion in consolidating the trials or in admitting photographs of the two into evidence. We further conclude there was sufficient evidence to uphold the guilty verdict. The evidence, and the reasonable inferences drawn from it, when viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, establish Moore's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. See State v. Treis, 1999 ND 136, ¶ 9, 597 N.W.2d 664. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3), (4).

[¶ 2] GERALD W. VANDEWALLE, C.J., CAROL RONNING KAPSNER, DALE V. SANDSTROM, WILLIAM A. NEUMANN, MARY MUEHLEN MARING.
