Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Stuart Werling, Judge. WRIT ANNULLED. Considered by Schumacher, P.J., and Chicchelly and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Buller, J. (8 pages)
A criminal defendant petitions for a writ of certiorari surrounding his simple misdemeanor conviction. OPINION HOLDS: We find that, on the peculiar facts of this record, we need not answer whether the defendant was entitled to a simple-misdemeanor jury trial, and we annul the writ of certiorari because the district judge did not act illegally when adjudicating the simple misdemeanor.
