Otto v. State

No. 20140400



Per Curiam.

[¶1]	Wayne Otto appeals from a district court order denying him post-conviction relief.  He argues the district court erred in summarily dismissing his application for post-conviction relief, because the court did not give all reasonable inferences in regard to his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel.  He also argues the district court erred by failing to hold an evidentiary hearing to further develop his claims regarding the alleged drug dog investigation.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(6) and (7).  
See
 
Ude v. State
, 2009 ND 71, ¶ 12, 764 N.W.2d 419 (a petitioner is not entitled to an evidentiary hearing on his application for post-

conviction relief if he fails to provide any competent evidence to raise a genuine issue of material fact); 
Dunn v. State
, 2006 ND 26, ¶ 12, 709 N.W.2d 1 (if a petitioner fails to raise a genuine issue of material fact, summary disposition will be appropriate).
