Appeal from the District Court of Williams County, Northwest Judicial District, the Honorable David W. Nelson, Judge.

AFFIRMED.

Per Curiam.

Monty G. Mertz, Fargo Public Defender Office, 912 Third Ave. S., Fargo, ND 58103-1707, for petitioner and appellant; on brief.

Owens v. State

No. 20160214

Per Curiam
.

[¶1]	
Billy Owens appeals from a judgment entered after a district court summarily dismissed his application for post-conviction relief.  Owens argues the district court erred in concluding his claims regarding the introduction of money transfers were barred by res judicata, it erred in concluding Owens’ ineffective assistance of counsel claims were barred by misuse of process and genuine issues of material facts exist.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(6).
