Myers v. State

No. 20150223

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Daniel Myers appeals from a district court judgment denying his application for post-conviction relief.  Myers argues the district court erred dismissing his application for post-conviction relief without giving him thirty days to respond to the State’s motion for summary disposition.  We conclude the district court erred as a matter of law and we summarily reverse under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(b).   Johnson v. State , 2004 ND 130, ¶ 6, 681 N.W.2d 769.
