                               Etemad v. State
                                No. 20210343

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Bejan David Etemad appealed from a district court order denying his
amended application for post-conviction relief. On appeal, Etemad argues the
district court erred in finding that he knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily
waived his right to counsel. Following a post-conviction evidentiary hearing,
the court found that Etemad knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived
his right to counsel. We conclude the district court’s findings are not clearly
erroneous and the court did not err in denying Etemad’s application for post-
conviction relief. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
