PER CURIAM.
[¶ 1] Robert Jones, Jr. appealed from a criminal judgment entered upon an Alford plea of guilty to the charge of forgery. On appeal, Jones argues the district court judge should have disqualified himself from the case under Canon 3 of the North Dakota Code of Judicial Conduct and failed to inquire whether Jones waived disqualification. Jones also argues the court erred when it allowed him to enter the plea after requesting a psychological evaluation. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4). See also State v. Jones, 2011 ND 234, 817 N.W.2d 313. [¶ 2]
