1Opinion of the Court

KITE, Justice.

[¶ 1] Donna Lapp was found guilty by a jury of one count of forgery in violation of Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 6-3-602(a)(ii) (LexisNexis 2003) and two counts of check fraud in violation of Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 6 — 3—702(b)(iii) (LexisNexis 2003). She appeals the convictions, claiming plain error occurred in the manner in which the district court instructed the jury concerning intent to defraud. She also claims insufficient evidence was presented to support the convictions. We affirm the forgery conviction and reverse the check fraud convictions.
