Holkesvig v. Maring

No. 20150247



Per Curiam.

[¶1]	Randy Holkesvig appeals from a judgment dismissing his complaint against the State and former Justice Mary Muehlen Maring and from a district court order denying his motion for relief.  The district court dismissed Holkesvig’s complaint under N.D.R.Civ.P. 12(b), concluding it did not have jurisdiction because Holkesvig did not comply with the procedural requirements established in 
Holkesvig v. Rost
, 2015 ND 67, ¶ 4, 861 N.W.2d 488.  Holkesvig moved for relief, and the district court denied his motion because Holkesvig did not file and serve notice of the motion as N.D.R.Ct. 3.2 requires and he failed to identify the rule under which he moved for relief.  Holkesvig argues the district court erred in dismissing his complaint, because a petition for rehearing was still pending in 
Rost
 and a mandate had not been issued when the State moved to dismiss.  He also argues the court erred in denying his motion for relief.  We recently addressed these arguments in 
Holkesvig v. VandeWalle
, 2016 ND 107.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4), (6), and (7).
