Filed 4/12/11 by Clerk of Supreme Court IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2011 ND 72 State of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellant v. Kenneth Trowbridge, Defendant and Appellee No. 20100363 Appeal from the District Court of Williams County, Northwest Judicial District, the Honorable Gerald H. Rustad, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Nathan K. Madden, Assistant State’s Attorney, Williams County State’s Attorney’s Office, P.O. Box 2047, Williston, N.D. 58802, for plaintiff and appellant; submitted on brief. State v. Trowbridge No. 20100363 Per Curiam. [¶1] The State appeals from the district court’s order reducing Kenneth Trowbridge’s sentence. While the State may appeal the grant of a motion to reduce sentence, State v. Gunwall , 522 N.W.2d 183, 185 n.1 (N.D. 1994), the district court did not abuse its discretion in granting Trowbridge’s motion. We summarily affirm the district court’s order under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4). [¶2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. Dale V. Sandstrom Carol Ronning Kapsner Mary Muehlen Maring Daniel J. Crothers
