Winarske v. State

Nos. 20140112-20140118

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Adam Winarske appealed a district court judgment denying his application for post-conviction relief.  Winarske argued he is entitled to post-conviction relief because he received ineffective assistance of counsel, his guilty pleas were not knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily given, and he was denied effective assistance of counsel at all stages of the proceedings.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2), concluding the district court did not err in dismissing Winarske’s application for post-conviction relief, after an evidentiary hearing.
