State v. Musk
State v. Musk
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM OF DECISION.
Gregory B. Musk appeals from a conviction in Superior Court, Franklin County, for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor (29 M.R.S.A. § 1312). We must set aside that conviction on grounds not raised by either party, namely, that the Superior Court had no jurisdiction.
We have previously indicated that procedural regularity is necessary for a proper transfer of a case from District Court under 15 M.R.S.A § 2114
Under such circumstances the Superior Court never acquired jurisdiction to try the defendant upon either charging instrument. The entry, therefore, must be:
Judgment of conviction vacated.
Remanded to Superior Court to be there remanded to District Court for further proceedings consistent with the opinion herein.
All concurring.
. Section 2114 was amended by P.L. 1981, ch. 487, eff. Jan. 1, 1982.
