State of Minnesota v. Shawn Dione Davenport

Syllabus

After a court trial, the district court found Shawn Dione Davenport guilty of two counts of domestic assault based on evidence that he placed a woman in a chokehold, which restricted her breathing. Davenport argues that the district court erred by admitting evidence that he previously was convicted of criminal offenses for engaging in domestic violence toward the victim. We conclude that the district court did not plainly err by admitting the evidence of Davenport's prior convictions. We also conclude that Davenport's pro se supplemental brief does not present any argument that warrants appellate relief. Therefore, we affirm.
