Matter of Robinson

Summary

The North Dakota Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s denial of Travis Robinson’s petition for a name change, holding that the lower court did not abuse its discretion because Robinson, a felon, failed to meet the clear‑and‑convincing‑evidence standard required by N.D.C.C. § 32‑28‑02(2). The court noted that the presumption of bad faith for felons was not overcome and therefore the petition was properly denied.
