North Dakota Supreme Court

Skobodzinski v. Nddot

April 24, 20252025 ND 84

Summary

The court held that the hearing officer reasonably found Skobodzinski refused the requested chemical test, but erred in finding that he received a reasonable opportunity to consult an attorney. Because the troopers delayed his requested attorney contact despite having a phone available and despite no demonstrated interference with their duties, the court reversed the district court judgment and the revocation decision.
