Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Russell G. Keast, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., Badding, J., and Telleen, S.J. Opinion by Schumacher, P.J. (3 pages)
Gita Thomas appeals her conviction for driving while barred, challenging the denial of her motion to dismiss for an alleged speedy-indictment violation. OPINION HOLDS: Because the State charged Thomas by trial information within forty-five days of her initial appearance, no speedy-indictment violation occurred and the district court properly denied Thomas’s motion. We affirm.
