N.D.R.Crim.P.
RULE 58. APPENDIX OF FORMS
The forms contained in the Appendix of Forms appendix of
forms are illustrative and not
mandatory.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Rule 58 was amended, effective March 1, 2006.
Rule 58 is adapted from Fed.R.Crim.P. 58, and is similar to N.D.R.Civ.P.
84. The forms
are found in the appendix of forms. The practice of appending illustrative forms to serve as
guides has been found useful in connection with many criminal codes. [Advisory
Committee
Note, 18 U.S.C.A., Rule 58.]
