AFFIRMED.



Per Curiam.

Gonzalez v. State

No. 20160174



Per Curiam.

[¶1]	Garron Gonzalez appeals a district court order denying his motion for  an order to show cause and dismissing his application for post-conviction relief.  Gonzalez applied for post-conviction relief arguing his prior post-conviction counsel was ineffective.  Gonzalez argues the district court erred in summarily dismissing his application.  Section 29-32.1-09(2), N.D.C.C., bars an applicant from claiming  ineffective assistance of post-conviction counsel.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(6).
