Industrial Contractors, Inc. v. Workforce Safety & Insurance

Filed 9/15/11 by Clerk of Supreme Court IN THE SUPREME COURT STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA 2011 ND 178 State of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee v. Grady Jackson, Defendant and Appellant No. 20110063 Appeal from the District Court of Ward County, Northwest Judicial District, the Honorable Gary H. Lee, Judge. AFFIRMED. Per Curiam. Kelly A. Dillon, Assistant State’s Attorney, Courthouse, P.O. Box 5005, Minot, N.D. 58702-5005, for plaintiff and appellee. Kent M. Morrow, 411 North 4th Street, P.O. Box 2155, Bismarck, N.D. 58502-2155, for defendant and appellant. State v. Jackson No. 20110063 Per Curiam. [¶1] Grady Jackson appeals from a district court judgment after a jury convicted him of driving while license suspended, a class A misdemeanor. Jackson argues the district court wrongly denied him the services of an attorney. We conclude the district court did not deny Jackson his Sixth Amendment right to counsel. See State v. Falos , 431 N.W.2d 154 (N.D. 1988). Jackson also argues that the district court should have provided him an evidentiary hearing on his motion to suppress and that the district court imposed upon him an excessive sentence because it relied on impermissible factors in determining his sentence. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4) and (7). [¶2] Gerald W. VandeWalle, C.J. Dale V. Sandstrom Daniel J. Crothers Mary Muehlen Maring Carol Ronning Kapsner
