Description
Kenneth L. Meyer, charged in the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court with a first offense of driving while under the influence of an intoxicating liquor, demanded a jury trial. The respondent, Judge Jones, denied the request for a jury trial, and defendant petitioned the district court for an alternative writ of mandamus to compel a trial by jury or to prohibit the lower court from proceeding to trial before the petition could be heard. The district court ultimately granted a permanent writ, requiring that defendant be allowed a jury trial. Judge Jones appealed; we granted a stay of proceedings pending our disposition of the matter.
