                             Davies v. State
                    Nos. 20190340, 20190341, 20190342

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Hutchingson Chuchu Davies appeals from a district court judgment
denying his application for post-conviction relief. Following a post-conviction
hearing, the court found Davies failed to satisfy the Strickland test for
ineffective assistance of counsel. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668
(1984). The court did not clearly err in denying Davies’ application for post-
conviction relief. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
