Filing Date: 10/3/2019
Case Type: Appeal - Civil - Oil, Gas and Minerals

Highlight: Whether there was delivery of a deed is a question of fact.

A grantee’s possession of a deed raises a presumption that the grantor intended delivery of the deed. The evidence to overcome the presumption of delivery must be clear and convincing.

Docket No.: 20180416
Filing Date: 10/3/2019
Case Type: Appeal - Criminal - Sexual Offense
Author: Tufte, Jerod E.

Highlight: A defendant’s failure to object at trial to character evidence or evidence of alleged prior bad acts under N.D.R.Ev. 404 forfeits the claim of error.

The district court does not err by failing to give the jury an instruction limiting the use of character evidence or evidence of prior bad acts if neither party requests an instruction and the defendant does not object to the evidence at trial.

Filing Date: 10/3/2019
Case Type: Appeal - Criminal - Sexual Offense
Author: VandeWalle, Gerald

Highlight: A defendant seeking post-conviction relief cannot circumvent the Uniform Postconviction Procedure Act by designating his application for post-conviction relief as a motion under a rule of criminal procedure or by filing his motion in his criminal file, rather than filing an application for post-conviction relief.
Applicant for post-conviction relief is entitled to notice that his application may be summarily dismissed.

Cichos, et al. v. Dakota Eye Institute, P.C., et al. 2019 ND 234
Docket No.: 20180347
Filing Date: 9/24/2019
Case Type: Appeal - Civil - Malpractice
Author: Tufte, Jerod E.

Highlight: For public policy reasons, there is no third-party duty owed by a physician to warn a patient of the danger of driving with a latent condition. A purely economic claim against a physician based on indemnity for medical malpractice is assignable from a patient to a third party who was injured as a result of the malpractice. Under N.D.C.C. § 28-01-46, an affidavit has a low threshold to meet the requirements.
