    Waslaski v. State

    Nos. 20120291-20120293

      

    Per Curiam.

    [¶1] Edward Waslaski, Jr., appealed from a trial court order summarily dismissing his application for post-conviction relief.  On appeal, Waslaski argues he received ineffective assistance of counsel and the trial court failed to advise him of his rights under N.D.R.Crim.P. 11(b).

    [¶2] We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(6) and (7); see Ude v. State , 2009 ND 71, ¶ 12, 764 N.W.2d 419 (stating a petitioner is not entitled to an evidentiary hearing on his application for post-conviction relief if he fails to provide any competent evidence to raise a genuine issue of material fact).
