¶32Newman v. State

¶33No. 20130258

¶34

¶35Per Curiam.

¶36[¶1] Benjamin Newman appealed from a district court order denying his second post-conviction relief application.  On appeal, Newman argues that the district court erred in summarily dismissing his application for post-conviction relief, raising issues of judicial misconduct, juror misconduct, ineffective assistance of counsel, denial of court access, prosecutorial misconduct, suppressed witnesses, and suppressed evidence.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(6) and (7); see Newman v. State , 2009 ND 57, 767 N.W.2d 529; State v. Newman , 2007 ND 148, 738 N.W.2d 887; see also Klose v. State , 2008 ND 143, ¶ 10, 752 N.W.2d 192 (misuse of process precludes claims when the defendant inexcusably failed to pursue an issue on appeal and seeks review in a post-conviction relief application or failed to raise an issue in an initial post-conviction application and seeks review in a subsequent post-

¶37conviction application); Smestad v. State , 2011 ND 163, ¶ 6, 801 N.W.2d 691 (res judicata precludes post-conviction relief for claims or for variations of the same claims that have been fully and finally decided in a prior proceeding).
