North Dakota Supreme Court
State v. Solis
December 31, 20252025 ND 233
Summary
The court affirmed Solis’s criminal judgment and held that the district court did not abuse its discretion by requiring sex-offender registration after his misdemeanor indecent-exposure conviction. The registration statute establishes registration as the general rule and permits, but does not require, deviation when specified criteria are satisfied; findings on those criteria are required only if the court chooses to deviate. The district court gave a reasoned explanation for declining to deviate.
