Description
Defendant was arrested and charged with driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquors. He appeared pro se at his arraignment; the trial was set for September 21. On September 19, defendant arranged for representation by counsel. That same day, defendants attorney notified the district court clerk and the prosecuting attorneys office that he would be representing defendant at the September 21 trial. On the day of trial, defendant and his attorney appeared and they were prepared to proceed. At that time the State requested a continuance claiming that it needed additional time to subpoena key witnesses. The district court granted the continuance, based on the prosecutors request. The Superior Court, on review, sustained the validity of the district courts continuance.
