Matthews v. North Dakota  Court Description: Order denying post-conviction relief is summarily affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2). IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2016 ND 123 Antonio Matthews, Petitioner and Appellant v. State of North Dakota, Respondent and Appellee No. 20160037 Appeal from the District Court of Grand Forks County, Northeast Central Judicial District, the Honorable Lolita G. Hartl Romanick, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Samuel A. Gereszek, 308 DeMers Avenue, P.O. Box 4, East Grand Forks, Minnesota 56721-0004, for petitioner and appellant; on brief. M. Jason McCarthy and Meredith H. Larson, Assistant State's Attorneys, Grand Forks County State's Attorney's Office, 124 South Fourth Street, P.O. Box 5607, Grand Forks, N.D. 58206-5607, for respondent and appellee; on brief. Matthews v. StateNo. 20160037 Per Curiam. [¶1] Antonio Matthews appeals after the district court denied him post-conviction relief. Matthews argues he was entitled to post-conviction relief because his counsel was ineffective by failing to move for suppression of the evidence. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2), concluding the district court's denial of Matthews' post-conviction relief application was based on findings of fact that are not clearly erroneous.
