Spath v. State
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Adrian M. Spath appealed from a judgment dismissing his petition for post-conviction relief. Spath asserts he was not afforded his Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel. The trial court found Spath failed to establish that his counsel's representation fell below an objective standard of reasonableness and that, absent counsel's errors as alleged by Spath, the result of the proceedings against him would have been different. We affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2).
