Today's Opinions - 2/3/10

Okay, it was yesterday, but I had a deadline to meet. On February 3, 2010, the CCA handed down a number of orders including one published opinion in the following case:

PD-0504-09, Ex parte Oscar Roy Doster: A unanimous CCA held that a pre-trial habeas corpus proceeding followed by an interlocutory appeal is not the appropriate vehicle to raise a claim that a prosecution should be dismissed because the State failed to bring the defendant to trial within the time limit proscribed by the Interstate Agreement on Detainers. Here's a link to the court of appeals case information. Here's a link to the court of appeals opinion. [Sorry, the original Gray dissent was withdrawn when the court of appeals reconsidered its opinion on rehearing.]

Here's a link to a more detailed summary.
