Perez-Montiel v. Superior Court CA1/3
THE COURT:
Petitioner Bryan Perez-Montiel was charged on May 31, 2018, with two misdemeanor violations of the Vehicle Code stemming from an incident on September 17, 2017, in which he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Petitioner was not arraigned until February 22, 2021.
Petitioner brought a motion to dismiss, asserting violations of his state and federal constitutional speedy trial rights. After the superior court denied petitioner’s motion, petitioner unsuccessfully sought relief in the superior court appellate division. Petitioner now appropriately seeks writ relief from this court. (See Serna v. Superior Court (1985) 40 Cal.3d 239, 263-264.)
