Appeal from the District Court of Williams County, Northwest Judicial District, the Honorable Gerald H. Rustad, Judge.
AFFIRMED.

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).
