State v. Ernst
No. 20070359

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Ronald Ernst appeals a district court order revoking his probation and resentencing him to eight years to the custody of the Department of Corrections.

[¶2] On appeal, Ernst argues the district court clearly erred in determining Ernst violated his probation. Ernst further argues the district court abused its discretion in determining the alleged violation warranted the revocation of his probation.

[¶3] We summarily affirm the district court order revoking Ernst's probation under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (4).
