Excerpt
Rule 11(a)(2), N.D.R.Crim.P., addresses conditional guilty pleas and requires: (1) the defendant, any defendant's attorney, and the prosecuting attorney consent in writing to the conditional plea; (2) the court accept the conditional plea and enter an order; and (3) the judgment specify the plea is conditional. Temporary remand is warranted for the district court's determination whether the plea was conditional and, if so, entry of an order and judgment consistent with the requirements of N.D.R.Crim.P. 11(a)(2).

A juvenile court must comply with the Indian Child Welfare Act ("ICWA") in termination of parental rights proceedings where the court knows or has reason to know an Indian child is involved. To determine whether ICWA applies in a termination of parental rights proceeding, a juvenile court must make an initial inquiry as to whether an Indian child is involved.
A district court can deviate upward from the presumptive child support guideline amount if it is in the best interest of a child and one or more of the enumerated criteria under N.D. Admin. Code § 75-02-04.1-09(2) is met. A district court's findings explaining why an upward deviation is in the best interest of a child, and explaining the amount of an upward deviation, are explicit enough if the Court is able to understand from them the factual basis for the district court's determination. The mandate rule does not permit a party to relitigate issues which were resolved in a first appeal, and requires a district court to follow the pronouncements of an appellate court within the limits of a remand.
