Beeter v. State Annotate this Case Court Description: 129 Summary dismissal of application for post-conviction relief is summarily affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7). IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2018 ND 129 Robert Duane Beeter, Petitioner and Appellant v. State of North Dakota, Respondent and Appellee No. 20180032 Appeal from the District Court of Ward County, North Central Judicial District, the Honorable Gary H. Lee, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Laura C. Ringsak, Bismarck, N.D., for petitioner and appellant; submitted on brief. Ashlei A. Neufeld, Assistant State's Attorney, Minot, N.D., for respondent and appellee; submitted on brief. Beeter v. StateNo. 20180032 Per Curiam. [¶1] Robert Beeter appeals from a district court judgment summarily dismissing his application for post-conviction relief. Beeter argues that the district court erred by concluding his application was barred by the statute of limitations. He contends the 2017 amendment to N.D.C.C. § 19-03.1-23(1)(a)(2) is a new interpretation of law and the district court should have retroactively applied it to his case. See N.D.C.C. § 29-32.1-01(3)(a)(3). We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7), concluding Beeter's application was time-barred. See State v. Iverson, 2006 ND 193, ¶¶ 6-8, 721 N.W.2d 396 (denying retroactive application of statute that became effective after final conviction). [¶2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. Jerod E. Tufte Daniel J.
