AFFIRMED.
Per Curiam.

Tibor v. State
No. 20110313
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Art Tibor appealed from a district court order dismissing his application for post-conviction relief. In 2006, Tibor was convicted of gross sexual imposition, and this Court affirmed in State v. Tibor , 2007 ND 146, 738 N.W.2d 492. Tibor subsequently filed a motion for new trial, which the district court denied. This Court summarily affirmed in State v. Tibor , 2010 ND 71, 789 N.W.2d 731. On appeal, Tibor argues that the district court erred when it proceeded with a hearing on the State’s motion to dismiss his post-conviction relief application without Tibor having an opportunity to be present and participate in the hearing and without having given notice.
[¶2] We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4) and (6).
