State v. JordeCriminal No. 970356

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Scott A. Jorde appealed from the criminal Judgment of the Burleigh County District Court sentencing him, on a plea of guilty, to one year for each of two counts for Corruption or Solicitation of a Minor. Jorde argues the two separate sexual acts with two separate victims were part of the same conduct and involved the same criminal objective. Thus, Jorde claims, the consecutive sentence was in violation of section 12.1-32-11(3), N.D.C.C. Jorde also argues the district court abused its discretion in issuing the two-year sentence and claims the sentence was cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution. We summarily affirm the criminal Judgment and sentence. N.D. R. App. P. 35.1(a)(4), (7); State v. McClean, 1998 ND 21.
