Per Curiam.

[¶1] Thomas Skalicky appeals the ‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍order of the district court denying his application for post-conviction relief. He argued his consecutive sentences for robbery under N.D.C.C. § 12.1-22-01 and burglary under N.D.C.C. § 12.1-22-02(2)(a) violated the constitutional prohibition against double jeopardy. Each offense to which Skalicky pleaded guilty “contains an ‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍element not contained in the other.” City of Fargo v. Martin Sewall Hector, 534 N.W.2d 821, 823 (N.D. 1995)(citing United States v. Dixon, 509 U.S. 688, 696 (1993), applying Blockburger v. United States, 284 U.S. 299 (1932)). Double jeopardy does not ‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍apply. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(7).
