Bentz v. State

No. 20140138



Per Curiam.

[¶1]	Rustin Bentz appeals from a district court order denying his application for post-conviction relief.  Bentz claims he is entitled to post-conviction relief because his counsel failed to adequately explain the terms of his plea agreement and the sentences imposed against him.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2), concluding the district court did not err in dismissing Bentz’s application for post-conviction relief, after an evidentiary hearing.
