                               Tebay v. State
                         Nos. 20200316 & 20200317

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Nathan Tebay appeals from two district court orders summarily
dismissing his applications for post-conviction relief. Tebay applied for post-
conviction relief in two criminal cases, seeking to withdraw his guilty pleas,
arguing his pleas were not made knowingly or voluntarily because he received
ineffective assistance of counsel. The court granted the State’s motions to
summarily dismiss, concluding Tebay had produced no competent admissible
evidence to support his claims his guilty pleas were not voluntarily, knowingly
or intelligently made, or that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. On
appeal, Tebay argues the court erred by failing to hold an evidentiary hearing.

[¶2] We conclude summary dismissal of Tebay’s application is supported by
the record. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(6).
