North Dakota Supreme Court

State v. Enriquez

August 14, 20242024 ND 164

Summary

The North Dakota Supreme Court reversed the district court’s revocation of Enriquez’s probation, holding that the State failed to prove the handgun was a firearm or dangerous weapon under the statutory definitions and that the lower court therefore abused its discretion. The Court applied the clearly erroneous standard to the factual finding and the abuse‑of‑discretion standard to the revocation decision.
