Wilson v. State

Nos. 20110362 & 20110363

Per Curiam.

[¶1] W.J. Wilson, Jr. appeals from the trial court’s order dismissing his application for post-conviction relief.  On appeal, Wilson argues he was denied due process of law because the court did not view an allegedly altered videotape at the hearing on his post-conviction relief application.  Wilson also contends he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his trial counsel failed to call and question a certain witness.  We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2) and (6).
