AFFIRMED.

Per Curiam.

Tilmer Everett, self-represented, P.O. Box 5521, Bismarck, ND 58506, petitioner and appellant; on brief.

Everett v. State

[¶1] Tilmer Paul Everett appealed from a district court order summarily dismissing his sixth petition for post-conviction relief. Prior to this appeal, Everett appealed the denial of his previous petitions for post-conviction relief on four separate occasions. See Everett v. State , 2011 ND 221, 806 N.W.2d 438; Everett v. State , 2010 ND 226, 795 N.W.2d 37; Everett v. State , 2010 ND 4, 789 N.W.2d 282; Everett v. State , 2008 ND 199, 757 N.W.2d 530. On this appeal, Everett argues the district court was prejudiced against him, the district court erred by refusing to consider the three grounds stated in Everett’s application for post-conviction relief, and the district court violated Everett’s due process rights by denying his motion to recuse or remove the district court judge .  We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(6) and (7); see Ude v. State , 2009 ND 71, ¶ 12, 764 N.W.2d 419 (stating a petitioner is not entitled to an evidentiary hearing on his petition for post-conviction relief if he fails to provide any competent evidence to raise an issue of material fact).
