No. 20080094.

758 N.W.2d 749 (2008)

2008 ND 225

In the Matter of Lila PETERSON'S DOGS. Lila Peterson, Appellant v. State of North Dakota, Appellee.

Supreme Court of North Dakota.

December 16, 2008.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Justin J. Vinje (argued) and Ralph A. Vinje (on brief), Vinje Law Firm, Bismarck, N.D., for appellant.

Julie Ann Lawyer, Assistant State's Attorney and Sarah Schaar (on brief), third-year law student, Bismarck, N.D., for appellee.


VANDE WALLE, Chief Justice.

[¶ 1] Lila Peterson appealed from a district court order cancelling a hearing on the disposition of dogs seized at her residence. Peterson argues the district court erred in determining she voluntarily agreed to relinquish ownership of her dogs and she was not entitled to a hearing under N.D.C.C. § 36-21.1-06. We conclude Peterson was entitled to a hearing, and we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
