¶32Luger v. State
¶33No. 20140106
¶35Per Curiam.
¶36[¶1] Chad Lee Luger appeals a district court order denying his petition for postconviction relief after pleading guilty to interference with a telephone during an emergency call and aggravated assault. Luger argued the district court erred in denying his petition after an evidentiary hearing because he was denied effective assistance of counsel, and the outcome would have been different had his attorney not failed to depose a witness or not advised him that he would receive a maximum sentence if he were to take the matter to trial. We conclude the district court did not err in determining Luger failed to establish ineffective assistance of counsel. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
