Delvo v. StateNo. 20160102

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Mike Delvo appeals from a district court order denying post-conviction relief. In 2011, while on probation for an earlier criminal conviction, Delvo was charged with several drug related offenses. Delvo remained incarcerated for 99 days before his release on bond. Thereafter, Delvo's probation was revoked based upon the new charges. Delvo served 408 days on the probation revocation before pleading guilty to the new charges. The district court sentenced Delvo to incarceration for twenty years on counts one and two and five years on count three with five years suspended and five years of probation following release. In addition, the district court ordered Delvo receive 99 days credit for time served on the new charges from the time of his arrest until his release on bond. The district court ordered the sentences run concurrently with the sentence imposed in the earlier conviction for which his probation was revoked. Delvo applied for post-conviction relief claiming ineffective assistance of counsel and failure to receive credit for the 408 days served on the revocation of probation. After a hearing, the district court denied Delvo post-conviction relief.

[¶2] On appeal, Delvo argues the district court erred by denying post-conviction relief and denying credit for 408 days served. Delvo has not met his burden to show he is entitled to credit for additional time. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (7). Gust v. State, 2006 ND 114, ¶¶ 7-9, 714 N.W.2d 826.
