Ashley v. State
No. 20160238
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Vernon Ashley appealed a district court’s order denying his motion for post-
conviction relief. In his motion, Ashley argued the district court should reduce his sentence for a multitude of reasons. The district court determined Ashley’s motion was simply a renewed motion to reduce his sentence which the district court had denied in 2015 for being untimely. The district court denied Ashley’s post-conviction relief motion for being meritless. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1).
