Highlight

When a defendant has previously filed an application for post-conviction relief, a subsequent motion filed under the Rules of Criminal Procedure will be treated as an application for post-conviction relief when the motion seeks to evade the boundaries of post-conviction proceedings.

On its own initiative, a court may enter a judgment denying a meritless application for post-conviction relief on any and all issues raised in the application before any response by the state. A district court’s summary dismissal of an application for post-conviction relief before a response by the State is analogous to dismissal of a civil complaint under N.D.R.Civ.P. 12(b) for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

A defendant may waive their speedy trial claim in four ways: (1) by failing to present the claim prior to or at the trial; (2) by entering a voluntary plea of guilty; (3) by failing to demand a prompt trial; or (4) by expressly consenting to the delay.
