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

Per Curiam.

[¶ 1] Larry Soum appeals from his conviction for driving while under suspension, arguing he has a constitutional right to operate a motor vehicle on the roads of North Dakota without a valid license to drive. We have repeatedly rejected that argument. See City of Bismarck v. Stuart, 546 N.W.2d 366, 367 (N.D. 1996); State v. Kouba, 319 N.W.2d 161, 163 (N.D. 1982); see also State v. Ertelt, 548 N.W.2d 775, 776-77 (N.D. 1996). We accordingly affirm Soum's conviction under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7).

[¶ 2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J.
