State v. Johnson 2023 ND 180
Docket No.: 20230083
Filing Date: 9/28/2023
Case Type: Appeal - Criminal - Misc. Misdemeanor
Author: Jensen, Jon J.

Highlight: Terrorizing circumstances are threats of violence or dangerous acts made with an intent to induce fear. No precise words are necessary to convey a threat, and may be bluntly spoken or done by innuendo or suggestion. A threat often takes its meaning from the circumstances in which it is spoken, and words that are innocuous in themselves may take on a sinister meaning in the context in which they are recited.

Discover Bank v. Romanick, et al. 2023 ND 172
Docket No.: 20230227
Filing Date: 9/28/2023
Case Type: Original Proceeding - Civil - Writ of Supervision
Author: McEvers, Lisa K. Fair

Highlight: We exercise our supervisory jurisdiction rarely and cautiously to rectify errors and prevent injustice in extraordinary cases in which no adequate alternative remedy exists.

A party who files a complaint must serve notice of filing on the other parties, except upon defaulting parties.

When a defendant has not appeared, he is not entitled to be notified of the motion for default judgment.

When the plaintiff declares the defendant did not answer or otherwise appear and its claim is for a sum certain—as evidenced through declaration and written instrument—the court abuses its discretion by failing to direct entry of default judgment.
