It is the State's burden to prove the voluntariness of a defendant's confession and to produce evidence on relevant factors.

District courts retain authority to revisit interlocutory orders until entry of final judgment. Under the doctrine of merger, the provisions of an executory contract merge into an instrument conveying real property. Absent fraud or mistake, the conveying instrument alone governs determination of the rights of the parties to the transaction. Recordation of a granting instrument is not necessary to effect a conveyance. Nor is it necessary for a plaintiff to present the original conveying instrument to prevail in quiet title action. In a quiet title action ownership may be established through evidence that a conveying instrument was delivered but subsequently lost. The equitable defense of laches may be available when a party delays enforcing his rights and a change in conditions during the delay results in prejudice to an adverse party. To have standing to litigate an issue a party must have suffered some injury from the putatively illegal action and the party must assert his own legal rights and interests and cannot rest his claim on the legal rights and interests of third parties. Parties may contract to a fee recovery standard that is either looser or stricter than statutory standards.",

A district court does not need to consider potential tax implications of a property division when the record failed to support a conclusion that the sale of the property was imminent, failed to indicate the tax liability, or quantified a specific liability to the court. A party is not entitled to an accrual of rent for the use of marital property during the pendency of divorce proceedings absent agreement or seeking district court intervention during the interim. Language in a right to first refusal that does not clarify if the right is triggered by a response to \"any\" offer made to purchase property or if it is triggered by a party's \"acceptance\" of an offer is ambiguous.",

The remedy for fraud is rescission of the contract and requires returning the parties back to their original positions. Deceit is not an action dependent on a contract it is a tort cause of action, and allows recovery of damages upon proof of an affirmative misrepresentation or suppression of material facts. When a party requests leave to amend without requesting additional discovery and a summary judgment motion has been docketed, the proposed amendment must be both theoretically viable and solidly grounded in the record. The measure of damages for breach of contract is the amount which will compensate the injured person for the loss which fulfillment of the contract would have prevented or the breach of the contract now requires.",

- Filing Date: 2/25/2019
- Case Type: DIVORCE/PROPERTY DIV./ALIMONY
- Author: Tufte, Jerod E.
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: Section 14-05-24.1(3), N.D.C.C., which authorizes the district court to terminate spousal support when the spouse receiving support has been habitually cohabiting with another individual in a relationship analogous to a marriage for more than one year, does not apply when the parties have a contrary written agreement.

- Author: Jensen, Jon J.
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: A district court’s award of primary residential responsibility is a finding of fact, which will not be reversed on appeal unless it is clearly erroneous.
Absent a reason for denying it, some form of extended visitation with a fit non-custodial parent is routinely awarded.
A district court’s ruling on decision-making responsibility is a finding of fact, reviewed under the clearly erroneous standard.

- Lenertz v. City of Minot N.D. 2019 ND 53
- Docket No.: 20180153
- Filing Date: 2/21/2019
- Case Type: REAL PROPERTY
- Author: Crothers, Daniel John
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: To establish an inverse condemnation claim, a property owner must prove a public entity took or damaged the owner’s property for a public use and the public use was the proximate cause of the taking or damages.
Whether private property was taken for public use is a question of law, fully reviewable on appeal.
The district court has broad discretion determining whether to allow expert witness testimony, and its decision will not be reversed on appeal unless it abused its discretion.
The district court’s decision to grant a motion for judgment as a matter of law is based on whether the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the party against whom the motion is made, leads to but one conclusion as to the verdict about which there can be no reasonable difference of opinion. Whether the evidence is sufficient to create a question of fact for the jury is a question of law.

- State v. Hansford 2019 ND 52
- Docket No.: 20180179
- Filing Date: 2/21/2019
- Case Type: SEXUAL OFFENSE
- Author: McEvers, Lisa K. Fair
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: Whether a suspect is in custody is a mixed question of fact and law which is fully reviewable on appeal.
A reasonable person would not believe he was in custody when he traveled unrestrained to the police station, was not placed under arrest or otherwise restrained, was told he was free to leave at any time, sat closest to the door during the interview, was interviewed in a room with only one law enforcement agent present, did not show any apprehension about being in the agent’s company, and told the agent he understood he was free to leave at any time.
It is the State’s burden to prove the voluntariness of a defendant’s confession and to produce evidence on relevant factors.
Even if a suspect is not in custody and Miranda warnings are given gratuitously, they are not rendered wholly irrelevant in determining whether incriminating statements were given voluntarily.
Parties raising a constitutional claim must provide persuasive authority and a reasoned analysis to support the claim.

- State v. Powley 2019 ND 51
- Docket No.: 20180226
- Filing Date: 2/21/2019
- Case Type: SEXUAL OFFENSE
- Author: McEvers, Lisa K. Fair
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: A pre-trial order in limine excluding evidence is a preliminary order that does not dispense with the need for the proponent to make an offer of proof at trial so the district court can consider the proffered evidence in the context of other evidence presented during trial.
An appeal by the State of an order in limine excluding evidence is not statutorily authorized.
The authority to issue a supervisory writ is discretionary and we decide whether to exercise our supervisory jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis.
An appeal by the State of an order denying a motion to amend an information is not statutorily authorized.

- Docket No.: 20180204
- Filing Date: 2/21/2019
- Case Type: DUI/DUS
- Author: Crothers, Daniel John
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: An arresting officer’s inclusion of additional information in the implied consent advisory must not materially mislead or coerce a defendant. Whether a defendant voluntarily consents to chemical testing must be determined by the totality of the circumstances.

- Varty v. Varty 2019 ND 49
- Docket No.: 20180279
- Filing Date: 2/21/2019
- Case Type: DIVORCE/PROPERTY DIV./ALIMONY
- Author: Crothers, Daniel John
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: Agreements between divorcing parties are encouraged, and stipulated spousal support awards should be changed only with great reluctance. The party seeking modification of spousal support must prove a material change in the financial circumstances of the parties warranting a change in support. The district court must consider the relevant factors under the Ruff-Fischer guidelines in determining an award of spousal support.

- Docket No.: 20180124
- Filing Date: 2/21/2019
- Case Type: CHILD CUST & SUPPORT (Div.\Other)
- Author: Crothers, Daniel John
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: The district court has broad discretion in making contempt decisions and will not be overturned unless an abuse of discretion occurs.
The lack of a trial transcript does not allow for meaningful and intelligent review of issues on appeal.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in finding plaintiff a vexatious litigant when evidence supported finding litigant persistently and without reasonable grounds filed motions and requests not warranted under existing law.

- Gonzalez v. State 2019 ND 47
- Docket No.: 20180188
- Filing Date: 2/21/2019
- Case Type: POST-CONVICTION RELIEF
- Author: McEvers, Lisa K. Fair
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: When an applicant for post-conviction relief alleges newly discovered evidence, a district court errs in sua sponte summarily denying the application, after the State has responded to the application, without providing the applicant notice and the opportunity to submit an answer with supporting materials to show the existence of a genuine issue of material fact.
A district court’s error in sua sponte summarily denying an application for post-conviction relief alleging newly discovered evidence after response by the State does not prejudice the applicant if the district court later considers and correctly rules on the merits in the applicant’s subsequent motion for reconsideration.

- Kuntz v. State 2019 ND 46
- Docket No.: 20180135
- Filing Date: 2/21/2019
- Case Type: OTHER (Civil)
- Author: Tufte, Jerod E.
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: A district court’s decision granting judgment on the pleadings under N.D.R.Civ.P. 12(c) is reviewed de novo.
A public entity violates the open records law when a person’s right to review or receive a copy of a record that is not exempt or confidential is denied or unreasonably delayed or when an excessive fee is charged.
A civil action for a violation of the open records law may be filed after an unreasonably delayed disclosure if a person alleges prejudice or harm caused by the delay.
An affidavit of service by mail filed with the court establishes service of the referenced documents. Service of an unsigned copy of the affidavit does not vitiate the evidence of service presented to the court by filing the signed affidavit.

- Case Type: DRUGS/CONTRABAND
- Author: McEvers, Lisa K. Fair
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: The right to appeal in this state is purely statutory, and without statutory authorization to hear an appeal this Court lacks jurisdiction.
An order approving pretrial diversion is not appealable under statutory authority contained in N.D.C.C. 29-28-06.
Supervisory writs may be issued in extraordinary cases to prevent injustice when no adequate alternative remedies exist.
While it is true N.D.R.Crim.P. 11(a)(2) does not require ritualistic compliance to enter a conditional guilty plea, courts must substantially comply with the rule’s procedural requirements to ensure defendants enter the plea voluntarily and intelligently.

The totality of the circumstances must be considered to determine whether a person voluntarily consented to submit to a blood test to determine blood-alcohol concentration.
An accurate reading of the implied consent advisory does not constitute per se coercion.

An initial judgment did not foreclose on an award of attorney fees under N.D.R.Civ.P. 54(e)(3).
This Court does not consider questions that were not presented to the district court and that are raised for the first time on appeal.

- Highlight: A district court order denying discharge from civil commitment as a sexually dangerous individual is summarily affirmed under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(2)
-
- Highlight: An employer of an independent contractor generally is not liable for the negligence of the independent contractor.
North Dakota law recognizes an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose in construction contracts.
A contracting party cannot escape its liability on the contract by merely assigning its duties and rights under the contract to a third party.
The remedy for fraud is rescission of the contract and requires returning the parties back to their original positions.
Deceit is not an action dependent on a contract; it is a tort cause of action, and allows recovery of damages upon proof of an affirmative misrepresentation or suppression of material facts.
When a party requests leave to amend without requesting additional discovery and a summary judgment motion has been docketed, the proposed amendment must be both theoretically viable and solidly grounded in the record.
The measure of damages for breach of contract is the amount which will compensate the injured person for the loss which fulfillment of the contract would have prevented or the breach of the contract now requires.

- Highlight: A claim for workers’ compensation benefits must be filed within one year after the injury. The date of injury for purposes of determining whether a claim for benefits is timely filed is the first date a reasonable lay person, not learned in medicine, knew or should have known that he suffered a compensable work-related injury and has either lost wages or received medical treatment.

- Author: McEvers, Lisa K. Fair
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: A district court's findings of fact in a termination of parental rights proceeding will not be reversed on appeal unless they are clearly erroneous.
A finding on one of three alternative grounds authorizing termination of parental rights under N.D.C.C. 14-15-19(3) is sufficient to uphold a district court's order terminating parental rights on that ground.

- Docket No.: 20180128
- Filing Date: 12/6/2018
- Case Type: POST-CONVICTION RELIEF
- Author: Jensen, Jon J.
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: A district court may summarily dismiss an application for post-conviction relief if there is no genuine issue of material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
Ineffective assistance of counsel issues are mixed questions of law and fact, which are fully reviewable on appeal.
When a claim made in an application for post-conviction relief is clearly and unambiguously contradicted by the record, summary disposition is appropriate.
When determining if summary disposition is appropriate on claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, the record and transcripts are generally not adequate if the petitioner alleges incidents outside of the record.
-
- Highlight: A detached garage connected to a dwelling by a deck constituted an “other structure” rather than a “dwelling” for purposes of determining insurance coverage.
Summary judgment is appropriate against a party who fails to establish the existence of a factual dispute as to an essential element of his claim and on which he will bear the burden of proof at trial.

-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: Department did not err in revoking defendant’s drivers license under N.D.C.C. § 39-20-14 following defendant’s refusal of on-site breath test.
A party who refuses a screening or chemical test cannot challenge the unperformed tests’ compliance with statutory requirements.
We cannot logically construe the statutes to require the State to provide foundational evidence for a test which was refuse, thus making the foundational evidence irrelevant.

-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: There is no bright-line rule to distinguish between short and long-term marriages.
This Court will not reverse a district court’s findings on valuation of marital property unless they are clearly erroneous.
When a distribution of property includes periodic cash payments from one spouse to another, a district court has broad authority to provide for the payment of interest in order to achieve an equitable distribution of the property.

- Author: Jensen, Jon J.
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: A district court’s decision on a motion to relocate is a finding of fact, which will not be reversed on appeal unless it is clearly erroneous.
To modify parenting time, the movant must establish a material change of circumstances has occurred since the prior visitation order and that it is in the best interests of the child to modify the order.
A material change in circumstances sufficient to amend a parenting time order is similar to, but distinct from, a material change in circumstances sufficient to change primary residential responsibility.
A district court’s decision to modify parenting time is a finding of fact, which will not be reversed on appeal unless clearly erroneous.

- Case Type: TERMINATION/PARENTAL RIGHTS
- Author: Jensen, Jon J.
-
-
-
-
-
- Highlight: Prenatal exposure to any controlled substance is a ground for a finding of deprivation.
A parent’s past conduct can form the basis to predict future behavior and a parent’s lack of cooperation with social service agencies is evidence that the causes and conditions of deprivation will likely continue.
When a parent, through voluntary actions, without reasonable justification, makes herself unavailable to care for and parent a young child, the child should not be expected to wait or assume the risk involved in waiting for permanency and stability in her life.

An award of damages for an unjust enrichment claim is reviewed under the clearly erroneous standard. Issues not raised in the district court are waived.

- Author: Crothers, Daniel John
-

-
-
- Highlight: Although a district court has continuing jurisdiction to modify parenting time, due process requires a parent receive adequate notice and a fair opportunity to be heard.
Due process notice requirements are satisfied when an unpled issue is tried by the implied consent of the parties.
Consent to try an issue outside the pleadings cannot be implied from evidence which is relevant to the pleadings but which also bears on an unpleaded issue.
A district court has broad discretion in making contempt decisions and in awarding attorney fees as reimbursement for costs and expenses incurred as a result of the contempt.
