Nur v. State

No. 20170349

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Ibrahim Hassan Nur appeals from the district court’s order denying his application for post-conviction relief. Nur argues he did not voluntarily, knowingly, and intelligently waive his right to counsel, and he argues he received ineffective assistance of counsel.  The district court did not err in summarily denying Nur’s application for post-conviction relief for misuse of process on the issue of his waiver to the right to counsel.  Also, the district court did not err in denying Nur’s application for post-conviction relief based on ineffective assistance of counsel and its findings of fact were not clearly erroneous.  We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (6).
