Hildebrand v. Stoltz was decided by the Supreme Court of which state, published as 2016 ND 225?

Interpreting the citation hinges on recognizing the state abbreviation in the official reporter. In 2016 ND 225, the “ND” indicates North Dakota. That abbreviation is used for the North Dakota Reports, the official reporter of the North Dakota Supreme Court. So this is a decision by the Supreme Court of North Dakota, published in its official reporter. The other state options would use different abbreviations in their own reporters, so they don’t fit this citation.
