North Dakota Supreme Court

State v. McCleary

January 23, 20252025 ND 24

Summary

The North Dakota Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s judgment, holding that the Uniform Mandatory Disposition of Detainers Act (UMDDA) does not apply once a defendant is released on parole, that a defendant’s stipulation of habitual‑offender eligibility waives procedural defects, and that the judgment need not be altered to label the plea as conditional. The court based its rulings on the statutory language of the UMDDA, the defendant’s waiver, and applicable procedural rules.
