North Dakota Supreme Court

State v. Rolland

March 13, 20252024 ND 175

Summary

The North Dakota Supreme Court held that the district court’s finding of competency was insufficient because it lacked factual findings, and therefore remanded the case for a new competency hearing to determine whether Rolland was fit to proceed before entering his conditional guilty plea. The Court retained jurisdiction but did not address the alleged Fourth Amendment or Miranda waiver issues.
