STATE v. NORMAN, 2011 ND 66 (N.D. 2011)

798 N.W.2d 878

State of North Dakota, Plaintiff and Appellee v. James Elwood Norman, Defendant and Appellant.

No. 20100296.Supreme Court of North Dakota.
Decided March 25, 2011.

Appeal from the District Court of Burleigh County, South Central Judicial District, the Honorable Gail H. Hagerty, Judge.

AFFIRMED.

Lloyd C. Suhr, Assistant State’s Attorney, Courthouse, 514 E. Thayer Ave., Bismarck, N.D. 58501, for plaintiff and appellee; on brief.

James E. Norman, self-represented, P.O. Box 5521, Bismarck, N.D. 58506-5521, defendant and appellant; on brief.

Per Curiam.

[¶ 1] James Norman appeals from a trial court order denying the State’s motion for an order requiring DNA sample from Norman and denying Norman’s motion resisting the State’s motion and his motions for appointment of counsel and oral argument. We conclude the trial court’s denial of the State’s motion makes the order favorable to Norman and, therefore, not appealable. Accordingly, we dispose of Norman’s appeal under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1) and (a)(7). See, e.g., Pearce v. North Dakota Workmen’s Compensation Bureau, 68 N.D. 78, 276 N.W. 917, 918 (1937) (“A party cannot appeal from a judgment wholly in his own favor since he is not aggrieved thereby.”).

[¶ 3] The Honorable Steven L. Marquart, D.J., sitting in place of Sandstrom, J., disqualified.
