Case Type
CIVIL APPEAL : POST-CONVICTION RELIEF
Appeal From
Case No. 06-K-2085
South Central Judicial District, Burleigh County
Donald L. Jorgensen
2011 ND 227807 N.W.2d 585
Oral Argument 9/8/2011

Highlight

The district court errs in summarily dismissing an application for post-conviction relief if the applicant raises a genuine issue of material fact.
Claims of ineffective assistance of post-conviction counsel may be raised in successive post-conviction proceedings and may be an excuse for an applicant's failure to raise an issue in a prior proceeding.
