State v. Strutz
No. 20000268

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Lucas Lee Strutz appeals from a judgment denying his application for post-conviction relief. Under Rule 52(a), N.D.R.Civ.P., a trial court's findings of fact in a post-conviction relief proceeding will not be disturbed unless clearly erroneous. Hill v. State, 2000 ND 143, ¶ 17, 615 N.W.2d 135. We summarily affirm the trial court's judgment under Rule 35.1(a)(2), N.D.R.App.P.
