Shuman v. State
Shuman v. State
Opinion of the Court
After entering a plea of nolo contendere, specifically reserving the right to appeal, Shuman challenges the trial court’s order denying his motion to dismiss founded upon the ground that he was denied due process because of the failure by the state to “speedily prosecute”. The trial court, without entertaining defendant’s proffer, denied the motion to dismiss citing United States v. Marion, 404 U.S. 307, 92 S.Ct. 455, 30 L.Ed.2d 468 (1971), and United States v. Zane, 489 F.2d 269 (5th Cir. 1973).
We do not by this opinion hold that any of those factors have been established, but only that appellant is entitled to an opportunity so to do.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
