Reset A A Font size: Print

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

Bejan David ETEMAD, Petitioner and Appellant v. STATE of North Dakota, Respondent and Appellee

No. 20210343

Decided: April 14, 2022

Scott O. Diamond, Fargo, ND, for petitioner and appellant. Ashlei A. Neufeld, Assistant State's Attorney, Grand Forks, ND, for respondent and appellee.

[¶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).

Per Curiam.

[¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Gerald W. VandeWalle Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Jerod E. Tufte
