Twomey v. J.G.
North Dakota Supreme Court · Decided March 19, 1986 · Erickstad, Gierke, Levine, Meschke, Vandewalle
383 N.W.2d 53; 1986 N.D. LEXIS 290 (North Western Reporter, Second Series)

Twomey v. J.G.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The trial court determined that A.G. was an “unruly child” under N.D.C.C. § 27-20-02 for habitual truancy because she was kept from school for a home learning program supervised by her parents. Our recent decision, In the Interest of C.S., 382 N.W.2d 381 (N.D. 1986), held that a child cannot be found “unruly” in these circumstances. That decision is controlling and dispositive. Reversed.

ERICKSTAD, C.J., and MESCHKE, LEVINE, VANDEWALLE and GIERKE, JJ., concur.
