Description
The state appeals from a judgment of the district court affirming an order of dismissal by the metropolitan court of the charges against defendant for driving while intoxicated and failure to yield the right-of-way, contrary to NMSA 1978, Sections 66-8-102 (Supp.1988) and 66-7-330 (Repl. Pamp.1987). Dismissal of the charges by the courts below was predicated upon findings that defendant was not timely tried within the six-month period required by former Metropolitan Court Rule 55 (now compiled as SCRA 1986, 7-506(B) (Repl. Pamp.1988)) The single issue raised on appeal is whether the lower courts correctly computed the six-month period prescribed in Metropolitan Rule 55(b). We reverse and remand.
