Highlight

An abatement ab initio of a criminal prosecution means a dismissal of all proceedings in the prosecution from its inception.
Abatement ab initio in criminal proceedings is inconsistent with N.D. Const. art. I, § 25.
Appeals will be dismissed as moot when no actual controversy is left to be decided unless a decision would have collateral consequences.
