North Dakota Supreme Court

State v. Ahmed

December 18, 20252025 ND 211

Summary

The Court affirmed Ahmed's convictions for possessing fentanyl and methamphetamine with a firearm. Although Ahmed's firearm-operability argument was not preserved because it differed from the grounds raised in his acquittal motion, the Court exercised obvious-error review and concluded the evidence permitted the jury to infer that the handgun was operable or readily capable of expelling a projectile.
