OPINION

ALLARD, Judge.

Following a jury trial, Harold P. Kankan-ton was convicted of two counts of second-degree theft for stealing two "access devices." 1 One count involved the theft of various credit cards. The other count involved the theft of a driver's license. The superior court sentenced Kankanton to 3 years to serve on each count with the sentences to run concurrently.

On appeal, Kankanton challenges only his second conviction (the conviction for theft of a driver's license), arguing that a driver's license does not qualify as an "access device" under Alaska law.
