Byron WHETSEL, Petitioner and Appellant
v.
STATE of North Dakota, Respondent and Appellee
No. 20190034
Supreme Court of North Dakota.
Filed October 3, 2019
Darla J. Schuman, Grand Forks, N.D., for petitioner and appellant.
Fallon M. Kelly, Lisbon, N.D., for respondent and appellee.
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Byron Whetsel appeals from a district court order denying his application for post-conviction relief. A jury found Whetsel guilty of murder and two counts of child abuse. Whetsel applied for post-conviction relief, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel. After an evidentiary hearing, the district court issued an order denying post-conviction relief. On appeal, Whetsel argues the district court erred in denying his application for post-conviction relief.
[¶2] We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2), concluding the district court’s findings are not clearly erroneous, and the court did not err in determining Whetsel received effective assistance of counsel.
