Summary

Michael Dean Hamilton appeals from a district court sentencing after he plead guilty to hindering law enforcement—providing means to avoid discovery or apprehension under N.D.C.C. § 12.1-08-03(1)(b).

On appeal, he argues the district court relied on impermissible sentencing factors and abused its discretion by rejecting the plea agreement. The State disputes the contentions.
