Ueckert v. Director, N.D. Dep't of Transp.No. 20160152

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Brent Ueckert appealed the district court judgment affirming the Department of Transportation hearing officer's decision to suspend his driving privileges for 180 days. Ueckert argued the results of his blood test were obtained in violation of his constitutional rights and his consent was invalid because he was threatened with criminal prosecution if he refused. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7); Beylund v. Levi, 2017 ND 30, ¶ 28 ("We conclude the exclusionary rule does not require exclusion of the results of the warrantless blood test in these civil administrative license suspension proceedings.").

[¶3] The Honorable Jerod E. Tufte was not a member of the Court when this case was heard and did not participate in this decision. Surrogate Judge Dale V. Sandstrom, sitting.
