McEVERS, Justice,
concurring.
[¶ 15] I concur in the result reached by the majority opinion. I write separately to note that in addition to the reasons for reversal cited by the majority, the district court also failed to give appropriate notice prior to summarily dismissing the application for post-conviction relief. As noted in Chisholm v. State, 2014 ND 125, ¶ 10, 848 N.W.2d 703, “the applicant must be given notice and an opportunity to respond and submit evidence to demonstrate there is a genuine issue of material fact before the court may dismiss the application.” Arguably, Greywind may have cured this defect by filing the motion for reconsideration, but the district court should not have dismissed the application without giving notice.
