Kitzan v. State

[¶1] Brent Kitzan appeals from a district court order denying his application for post-conviction relief.  Kitzan argues he was entitled to post-conviction relief because his counsel was ineffective in failing to request a restitution hearing and the district court erred in finding he failed to establish a reasonable probability that a lower restitution amount would have been ordered had a restitution hearing been held.  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2), concluding the district court did not err in dismissing Kitzan’s application for post-conviction relief.
