Davies v. State

No. 20160120

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Roger Davies appeals from a district court order denying his petition to set aside the conviction and set for trial.  Davies argues the district court erred treating his petition as an application for post-conviction relief, he was entitled to an evidentiary hearing on his petition, the order was issued before his 30 days to respond expired and plea bargaining is unconstitutional.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4) and (6).
