Wickham v. State 2022 ND 116
Docket No.: 20210313
Filing Date: 5/26/2022
Case Type: Appeal - Civil - Post-Conviction Relief
Author: Tufte, Jerod E.

Highlight: A comment on a defendant’s post-arrest silence is an improper comment on the right to remain silent in violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution.

In considering whether counsel’s failure to object to a Doyle violation establishes a reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different in the postconviction relief context, the district court must consider the factors outlined in State v. Wilder, 2018 ND 93, ¶ 9, 909 N.W.2d 684. They include: (1) the use to which the prosecution puts the post arrest silence; (2) who elected to pursue the line of questioning; (3) the quantum of other evidence indicative of guilt; (4) the intensity and frequency of the reference; and (5) the availability to the trial judge of an opportunity to grant a motion for mistrial or to give curative instructions.

A witness’s isolated reference to a defendant’s invocation of his right to counsel, without further elaboration or further mention by the State at any other time during the trial or in closing arguments, does not warrant a new trial for the defendant.

Schmitz v. State Board of Chiropractic Examiners 2022 ND 113
Docket No.: 20210135
Filing Date: 5/26/2022
Case Type: Appeal - Civil - Administrative Proceeding
Author: Jensen, Jon J.

Highlight: A formal, evidentiary hearing is required whenever an administrative agency acts in a quasi-judicial capacity unless the parties either agree otherwise or there is no dispute of a material fact.

A summary judgment is inappropriate if a fact-finder must draw inferences and make findings on disputed facts to support its decision.

Even when facts are undisputed, a summary judgment may not be granted if reasonable differences of opinion exist as to the inferences to be drawn from those facts.
