Jasmann v. State
No. 20160396
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Matthew Jasmann appealed from the district court’s order denying his application for post-conviction relief. In his application, Jasmann argued: (1) he received ineffective assistance of counsel, (2) the State failed to obtain evidence which was exculpatory in nature, and (3) the State’s actions during trial amounted to prosecutorial misconduct. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P 35.1(a)(2), (7). State v. Steffes , 500 N.W.2d 608, 612 (N.D. 1993) (“Police generally have no duty to collect evidence for the defense.”).
