Evans v. State
State: North Dakota
Docket No: 950293&950294
Case Date: 02/28/1996

Evans v. StateCivil Nos. 950293 & 950294

Per Curiam.

Steven Duane Evans appealed from the summary denial of his motion for post-conviction relief to withdraw his guilty pleas to two charges of burglary. Evans contends that he should have been allowed to withdraw his guilty pleas because, when the trial court accepted the pleas, it did not first, by addressing him personally in open court, (1) inform him of certain rights as required by N.D.R.Crim.P. 11(b), and (2) determine the pleas were voluntary as required by N.D.R.Crim.P. 11(c).

We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4), (6), and (7). See State v. Parisien, 469 N.W.2d 563 (N.D. 1991) [requirement of "addressing the defendant personally" is satisfied when court gives group explanation of rights and subsequently requires each defendant to respond individually] and State v. Hoffarth, 456 N.W.2d 111 (N.D. 1990) [record of arraignment can be considered in conjunction with record of change-of-plea hearing to determine compliance with N.D.R.Crim.P. 11].
