North Dakota v. Yost

Dale Yost appealed an order denying his motion to withdraw guilty pleas and amended criminal judgments. In October 2012, the State of North Dakota charged Yost with eleven counts of gross sexual imposition involving five minors. Yost argues the district court abused its discretion in denying withdrawal of his guilty pleas, did not advise him of his rights before his pleas, and erred in amending the amended judgments because the district court lacked jurisdiction. After review, the North Dakota Supreme Court affirmed the district court's denial of Yost's motion, vacated the district court's second amended judgment, and remanded for correction of the first amended judgment.
