State v. NelsonNo. 20110377

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Travis Nelson appeals from a district court order denying his motion to dismiss an administrative lien on his prisoner spending accounts held by the North Dakota Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation ("DOCR"). The lien was filed by the High Intensity Enforcement Unit ("HIEU") of Child Support Enforcement. On appeal, Nelson argues the HIEU and the DOCR violated state law by entering into an agreement under the Administrative Agencies Practice Act to enforce an administrative action upon an inmate. Nelson also claims the district court erred in denying his motion to dismiss the lien with prejudice and by affirming the administrative lien on his prisoner spending accounts. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (7). See Parizek v. Parizek, 2012 ND 103, ¶ 1 (affirming an administrative enforcement action placing a lien for past-due child support on personal property held by the DOCR).
