GIERKE, Justice.

Gary L. Patten appeals from a district court order which denied his request to have a felony conviction reduced to a misdemeanor pursuant to § 12.1-32-02(9) of the North Dakota Century Code. We affirm.

Patten was convicted on November 1, 1983, of the class C felony crime of removal of a child from the State in violation of a custody decree. § 14-14-22.1, N.D.C.C.
