¶36[¶1] James Coffman appeals from the trial court’s order for judgment dismissing his application for post-conviction relief filed on January 25, 2011. (footnote: 0) On appeal, Coffman argues his trial counsel was ineffective because counsel allegedly refused to take the case to trial, failed to interview a police officer whose testimony would exonerate Coffman, and failed to procure Coffman’s phone records. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
