State v. Athens
Idaho Supreme Court · Decided October 31, 1922 · Budge, Dunn, McCarthy
36 Idaho 228; 210 P. 135; 1922 Ida. LEXIS 151

State v. Athens

Opinion of the Court

MCCARTHY, J.

The facts in this case are the same as those in State v. Thomas Athens, No. 3493, with this exception: the information in this case was filed on June 18, *2291918, during the term of court preceding the one during which the information in case No. 3493 was filed. In this case, as in that one, on November 7, 1919, the next to the last day of the term which began January 13, 1919, appellant, after pleading not guilty to the charge, consented to a continuance of his case until the following term. 'The difference in the facts does not affect the operation of the principle applied in case No. 3493. The action of appellant in pleading not guilty and consenting to a continuance is a waiver of the statutory right to a dismissal.

The judgment is affirmed.

Budge and Dunn, JJ., concur.
