Thorson v. StateNo. 20120002

Per Curiam.

[¶1] David L. Thorson appeals from the trial court's order denying his application for post-conviction relief. On appeal, Thorson argues he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his counsel did not obtain a copy of the form 960 report and did not call the victim's father and mother as witnesses. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
