¶32Curtiss v. State
¶33No. 20150007
¶35Per Curiam.
¶36[¶1] Spencer Curtiss appeals from a district court order denying his application for post-conviction relief on his conviction for gross sexual imposition. Curtiss claims he was entitled to post-conviction relief because he received ineffective assistance of counsel. He also argues that by allowing the introduction of testimony regarding his religious beliefs, the district court denied him his constitutional rights and prejudiced him throughout the trial proceedings. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2), concluding that after holding an evidentiary hearing, the district court denied Curtiss’s post-conviction relief application on the basis of findings of fact that are not clearly erroneous.
