Matthew JASMANN, Petitioner and Appellant v. STATE of North Dakota, Respondent and Appellee
No. 20160396
Supreme Court of North Dakota.
Filed 6/29/2017
Thomas J. Glass, Bismarck, ND, for petitioner and appellant; submitted on brief.
Frederick R. Fremgen, Stutsman County State’s Attorney, Jamestown, ND, for respondent and appellee.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
[¶ 1] Matthew Jasmann appealed from the district court's order denying his application for post-conviction relief. In his application, Jasmann argued: (1) he received ineffective assistance of counsel, (2) the State failed to obtain evidence which was exculpatory in nature, and (3) the State's actions during trial amounted to prosecu-torial misconduct. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P 35.1(a)(2), (7). State v. Steffes, 500 N.W.2d 608, 612 (N.D. 1993) ("Police generally have no duty to collect evidence for the defense.").
