Mr. Justice McWilliams

delivered the opinion of the Court.

On the basis of Gomez v.

See also the more recent case of Martinez v. People, 163 Colo. 503, 431 P.2d 765.

The judgment and sentence is therefore reversed and the cause remanded with directions that the trial'court dismiss the information and grant the district attorney leave to refile, if he be so inclined.

Mr. Chief Justice Moore not participating.
