Froistad v. Schmalenberger

No. 20120381



Per Curiam.

[¶1]	Larry Froistad appeals a district court order summarily denying his petition for 

post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing.  Froistad argues the State withheld exculpatory evidence and newly discovered evidence warrants a new trial.  Froistad sought and was denied post-conviction relief after a full hearing.  Denial of Froistad’s requested relief was affirmed.  
Froistad v. State
, 2002 ND 52, 641 N.W.2d 86.  We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7).  
Steen v. State
, 2007 ND 123, ¶ 13, 736 N.W.2d 457 (“[M]isuse of process occurs when a post-conviction relief applicant ‘presents a claim for relief which the applicant inexcusably failed to raise either in a proceeding leading to judgment of conviction and sentence or in a previous postconviction proceeding.’”) (quotation omitted).
